@@legofab If you're up for a lot of colour mixing, the full set of 13 (+ Satin Medium, all in 30ml bottes) Kimera Kolors is a great starting point in terms of quality, price (390 ml of paint +30 ml of satin medium for EURO 60 or about US$77) and versatility... The paint flow and coverage is so good, that the only real challenge is mixing the colours you want (which is aided by a fold-out in the box), so you might want to supplement this set with additional colours from other ranges, especially if you are painting armies for a game. If you're looking for something with a bigger range of pre-mixed colours, the Monument Hobbies Pro Acryl Base Set of 24 colours (in 22ml bottles) gives you even more paint (528 ml) for a similar price (US$80). Alternatively, they allow you to build your own starter bundles that give you 3 different levels of discounts starting from 10% with 8 bottles of paint (which equates to US$28.80 for 176 ml), providing an even more affordable starting point and allows you to pick up Transparents or Metallics that aren't in the base set. The main downside with these two ranges, is the retail distribution and availability. While Kimera has started seeing some retailer stock in recent months, and Monument Pro Acryl is getting it's first independent stockist (which also happens to be it's first outside the USA), direct online sales are still the primary method of distribution for these ranges at the present. So if you want a starter set that you can just go and pick up from a local game store, you might have to look at something else.

Since I was a young child I loved arts and crafts. I have done linoleum block carvings and made my own stamps. I learned crocheting, sewing and pottery in my tweens. In Highschool horticulture,drawings, painting. As a young adult painting houses, businesses. As a hobby I upcycle and paint just about everything and do wall murals. Bonus my husband was a auto body paint rep. So I got paint guns and have played around with so many brands of paints, primers, glazes, stains, fillers and tools. As a child on into my senior years I have Been encouraged, have inspired, have self meditated and dreamed up another project…it never ends. Currently I have turned our RV shop into a medieval castle. The shop doors are painted copper with faux black iron bars in a grid pattern and big 3D rivets evenly spaced in single file on my black iron bars, the drywall around the shop doors are painted to look like wood planks.The wood planks and painted to look like mortar in between the planks. It looks like a Dungeons and dragon castle, so I wanted to add some whimsy…so I painted a whimsical skull head popping out of the iron grid square-wearing a steampunk top hat waving hello. I named him Sully. I think being a artist is playing, creating what inspires you, getting to know your color wheel, experimenting with products. Usually they say don’t mix water and oil but it depends what and where you are applying it to. I have used wood stains over water based for shadowing. I create less mistakes if I use products on a sample piece to see how they interact and what effects they create. Well I took a pause in my artwork to watch your videos as before I started watching I stripped the paint and sharpie markers that my artistic 4 year old did on a giant Barbie doll and was waiting for the 3rd coat of sealer to dry so I can giver a new face and make her a new steampunk outfit so my niece will have a new doll to play with. Thanks for sharing your videos and encouraging me to dream and play some more. I realize a lot of viewers hate long comments but I have no clue how to do videos but I enjoy watching your channel and reading comments. I am deaf so my visuals and art is what keeps me going, it was hard losing my hearing in my mid 40’s as I lost communication with friends and relatives and work related associations. I’ve learned to just have gratitude to those that are there for you in life, that inspire you to be better in all aspects of life. Be well, be compassionate to yourself and others, share a smile and do what brings you joy… trust me it’s contagious ( look how many positive comments and people that learned something ; I bet you smiled with renewed enthusiasm) 😊

I've seen a lot of people use techniques, but this is the first one where I really got a sense for the satisfaction, and making wet blending feel actually achievable. Favorite colours are also *so* relatable. Even if I don't have any of YOUR favorite colours, I know which ones appeal to my own painting palette and it gets me thinking about other ways to use them in conjunction with each other. I've been having a lot of thoughts about over-reliance on certain shades, so it's nice to see familiarity with a colour recontextualized as a good thing.

The Reaper paints I bought 10+ years ago have fantastic matte that contrast well from shiny armor. I really like their purple and their dark elves green (bluish side of dark dark hunter green). For dark cloaks, it's amazing, especially when paired with colors to make the green pop, while still staying super dark. Love the effect. I really don't like modern citadel paints in general, after having their much better stuff from several generation switches ago.

My go to's are largely from pro acryl. Their titanium white is simply the best white paint I've tried. Their bold pyrrole red is my favorite red, and their turquoise is great for a really punchy blue. Their range isn't the biggest but it has so many good and useful colors that it more than covers everything. After that it's probably Vallejo stuff, they have so many useful colors because of the sheer number of colors. Ice yellow is probably the single paint that I use the most, while dark sea blue is awesome for adding some interest to black armor. Also their airbrush metallics are easily the best. The metal color has been totally sold out, so I got some scale color metallics and game air metallics, and definitely prefer the game air, it's pretty darn close to the metal color in finish, and also has fantastic coverage.

Cryx Bane Base is a personal favorite not-black, because it works so well at telling your eyes that something's matte black without dipping into the it's-so-black-it's-blues or having to resort to highlighting excessively to keep details from disappearing.

I revisit this a lot, just as a way to kick-start pondering color palettes. The section on highlight colors made me view color theory differently. 10/10 content

Holy crap, there's a lot of good info here! Not only did you list great paints from a variety of manufacturers and in a variety of hues, you demonstrated a bunch of techniques while slipping in some key takeaways from color theory so subtly that most folks won't even notice they've been educated. Your casual, almost incidental explanations of wet-blending, feathering and highlighting are the most applicable lessons I've ever seen on those techniques, despite watching long tutorials supposedly devoted to them exclusively. I'm gonna have to watch this one end-to-end again, probably more than once, to absorb everything you crammed into this. Your channel is coming on strong as one of the very best resources for upgrading the skills of advance beginners moving into intermediate-level painting--a skill-range niche that is woefully underserved, actually. Keep up the excellent work!

Reaper's Nightshade Purple and Red Brick. Nightshade is an off-black and it helps about any darker color shading I do - including shading actual black sometimes. Red Brick is a dark red-purple and I use it on everything from cloth, to rocks, to skin tones. It is perfect as an addition to other skin tones to add blush.

Thank you for finally putting the exact steps of wet blending into words. I was never sure if I'm doing it right because everyone just shows it but doesn't explain it. :)

The video was not the level of cool as Your previous ones, but I must say You are the first person that actually made me understand what the "feathering" technique is. I could never understand what's it's difference from blending but now I get it. So thanks for that ;)

I enjoyed your use of "A" "2" and "D" at the start like Buzz from Home Alone. When you said "first" and an A apeared on screen I was hoping. Then when the 2 apeared I knew it.

I absolutely must have my scale 75 whites and yellows . Other than that I have many I use or can substitute but I won’t paint white or yellow unless it’s scale 75 . The coverage and opaqueness is so good

You should do a more detailed video on your feathering process. How do you quickly clean your brush? Do you use water and dab the excess with a paper towel? How much moisture should be in the brush when you try to feather?

P3 blighted Gold is my Favorite start to any gold, its a night deep rich dark gold with great coverage, I often will then highlight with a pure gold and a silver to really make it pop. It doesnt need a wash to darken it too far, but a nice wash brings a little extra flavor to a model. I used a red tone wash over it on my fyreslayers which made their gold glow with the fire of their ancestors

fenrisian grey (or any cold grey) is basically part of the default edge highlighting kit for blacks or as a starting point for anything that ends in white that isn't a fabric.

Absolutly A paint that has done it for me is " Soft Tone from Army painter "... I'm in love.. Just try it OMG... Add if you feel like experimenting try a 1-1 with inktense Crimson SC-96 and soft tone dude... close to Pop top Red Ink from citadel. Soft tone also Gos over VERY nicely with Golds.. or even silvers for a decay look
