"Stare at your mistake, let it dry, and never do it again." That's just good advice for life.

Goob: "Paint Bravely" Sam: "No Fuckin Fear"

Easily the best tutorial on wet blending that I've watched. Didn't spend a bunch of time dancing around and just explained it so everyone understands.

Man I must have watched 10 different wet blending videos and didn't understand still until I came here and you spoke about using large amounts of paint to blend. For some reason you are the only one that gives that detail and man did it make a difference on how to do this technique. Thanks for making in depth video and being detailed

Dude!! This video kicks ass! By far the best explanation of wet blending I’ve seen so far. Short sweet and to the point with lots of great tips. 11/10 my guy!

Like many others have said, best video for starting wet blending that I have watched. Thanks Sam!

Straight and to the point! I love it. Thank you.

I realized recently that I've been over thinning my paints, and this kind of sealed the deal for me a bit. Been so afraid of overly thick paint that I've been making my life difficult by needing like a thousand coats and also, wetblending has always been really hard because of that. Thanks for the pointers!

Great video, very concise and to the point. Thank you for sharing and please stay safe.

"no fuckin' fear." coolest outro in the history of mini painting YT vids... Not even kidding.

thanks for showing the demonstration on the Scourge wings. Helps a lot!

This type of video dedicated to one technique is awesome ! thanks

Thanks for showing the common mistakes and how to fix them. This part was the most useful to me :)

I agree the only time I lost detail was from a spray can. Great video and have no fear it is only paint after all.

I learned wet blending from your explanations on the Tabletop Minions channel, but I think this explanation is even easier to follow. Good stuff.

Great video! Straight to examples. Just a little above 6 mins and I learned soo much. For sure I will try wet blending in my today’s session. Keep up the good work Sam!

Great vid. I liked the way you both showed the mistakes and then some little tips e.g. the wash afterwards some shadows or highlights. We'll explained and illustrated.

all the golden advice, thanks sam

Dude, you make me believe Im a fuckn Renaissance Painter with your motivation! And Damn it I am !

hell yeah, those Bomb Wick brushes kick ass. Bought all the Artillery line and got me some of the black Igniters as well. Love em!

Seriously. We love us some 'zazz.

This is a technique that I've always been hesitant to try. Thanks for your dose of courage.

Damn Sam, you've done it again! Can't find words to describe how good this video is & how well you communicate your info. Superb! 😁

Very concise 😍 and soo zazz thank you !

Im starting to get into wet blending, and omg u are amazing sam! u earned a sub! great content, fantastic explainations and fundamental teaching!

I just finished staring at my soupy mess a little while ago. Gonna try again though, never surrender.

How do you not have more subscribers?! You're awesome dude!

'A little bit of practice make a lotta betta perfect..head tilt.' There is something deep in there. I need to visit my mountaintop retreat and ponder. I will get back to you in a few days.

Definitely the best wet blending video ever!! You covered techniques that other videos didn't even touch on. Thank you so much! My wet blending, which I've always poo-pooed, has improved literally over night! You rock!!!

Great advice at the end there. Very apt for any artistic endeavour

Why are there not more comments? This is an amazing and to the point wetblending video. Thank you for making this so there's something easy to watch that gives visual examples of this technique.

Finally a tutorial which clears up the thick paint obstructs details mantra. Yes, you can lose details if you just glob it on but watching Sam and other pro painters, so many start out with a solid coat and blend them together or even just block in colors. I always overthin my paints because of the fear of losing detail and therefore wetblending just plain didn't work. Thank you for not only explaining the technique but also showing mistakes and how to correct them. This was way more helpful than all the other videos on this topic for me (and in under 10 minutes). Great job!

Excellent video. Again.

The best of the best tutorials! :D

just the fact that you trust yourself gives us self-confidence ! Very clear :)

Best thing on the internet.

Please teach me more master Sam! The magician of the brush!

Thanks for the tutorial. I've never been happy with my wet blending attempts so I have just tried to glaze my way out of situations. I'll have to give this a try sometime. I was getting the paint consistency wrong by the look of it. I'm loving the no-nonsense nature of the tutorial.

Wow... I think it just clicked. I try it on almost every mini, but I could never understand why sometimes it worked ok and other times it just wouldn't do what I wanted.. the SIDE of the brush. So smart to use the side. Goddamn. Imma paint a rainbow on my next mini now!

"Stare at your mistake. Let it dry and never do it again" love it lol

I've watched tons of videos on wetblending but this is the best explanation of it so far. Going to try this out tomorrow. Thankyou!!

Thank you mate this is a very clear way how to wet blend and will be saving this video.

So much greatness

I love how you massage that arcane blue back into the situation... great video Sam 🤘

Most people like Zazz but everyone loves his Italian cousin Pizzaz!

Thanks! Going to try this on the cloaks of my Khanite Shadowstalkers.

"For the adults in the room" Had me laughing pretty hard.

Thanks Sam!

lol, that first zoom centered on the lamp....made me laugh so hard. Love it!

Super helpful. Thank you!

I used to do wetblending a lot on my orks and be super confused when it sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. Took me quite a while to understand it was because I sometimes had too diluted paints. Neat tutorial, somewhat ties into what I want to try for army painting next; wetblending, sketch in highlights, bring it all together with airbrush filter. Got to remember to keep those initial paints consistently thicc.

Excellent video. Worth noting that it's easier to get a pleasing result blending two analogous colours (red and orange, blue and purple) than it is with opposing colours (green and red). Or blend with one colour and black or white for a value gradient.

Every time I see one of your videos I want to jump out of my chair and slay more grey!

Okay, yea I've definitely been afraid of thick paint up till now. I basically just did everything EXCEPT wet blending for the last couple years, cuz things always seemed like they'd get soupy, or dry way too quick for me. Until recently when I accidentally tried layering over a thick titanium white that hadn't quite dried, and it seemed to make a mixy colour?? I went with it and the flame turned out bomb, was a much more fun way to do things than patiently layering it up too. I think I'm gonna commit to giving this another shot.

no fucking fear - sam Lenz pantong guru 2021

My only fear is disappointing Sam Lenz.

Fantastic! It’s the one technique I just can’t seem to get but you’ve certainly outlined the mistakes I’ve been making. Thank you

Great explanation on wet blending!

This short vid actually explained wet blending so well EVEN I may give it a shot. LOL Thanks man....

Well, thats how to wet blend, finally explained properly! Thanks

Great tutorial. Like others have said, concise amd to the point. Will definitely be using this soon. Great to see more videos.

we all know the secret is the mighty cube of learning. It has no fear, all its sides are equal.

Great Vid Sam! Cheers mate

Great vid Sam. Thanks I’m loving these technique vids. Wet blending has been a technique I haven’t really tried yet. Again no fear... just do it

I remember in school when I couldn't get acrylic to blend together on a canvas to save my life, quickly switched to Oil paint. Wish you were around then.

Thanks for the tutorial, now I'll never f**king fear the wet blendz again! 💪💪💪

Love your videos. They always make me go and get on with some painting. The conan skin video set me off on a reaper minis bandit, this one on a gravedigger. You're a legend

Boy, we do love zazz. Great stuff! I have a big cape on the next model I'm painting (Four Horseymens from PP's Riot Quest game) so I'll try this out on that and see how it goes!!

Awesome video and it’s really helped me out. Stay safe and keep up the stellar work.🇨🇦

I promise I will try

The man with the greatest wardrobe in miniature painting today, bar none! What's on your current playlist right now? I'm always surprised by how little paint you put on your brush at one time. It's almost so little paint you can barely see it.

Aaaand now I want to make wings like these >< Thanks Sam!

yooo sam!! you my hero man

Boy we love zazz

Lots of Zazz contained within. Thanks!

I shall be refering to my brushes as power swords from now on 🤘 As always Sam you continue to deliver great information that is super easily digested. And this video was definitely not lacking any zazz 😂

What Sam’s trying to say is that there are two kinds of wet blends out there, ones with and ones without zazz

Great stuff friend 👏 👍

Thank you Sam🙏🙏 Very well explained, I have to print and frame the quote “no fucking fear” 😂 and hang it right next to vince quote “you’re the master of the model” 😂

Great stuff man, keep up the great content!

Hi Sam. I’m a beginner, if I say nonsense I hope you’ll forgive me. I understand that going from blue to white is not very difficult. It is also easy to switch from red, to orange, to yellow, and so on. But what if we want a transition from blue to yellow (for example). We don’t want green. How is it done? Thank you so much for your videos, I always learn from them. -"Hola Sam. Sóc un principiant, si dic tonteries espero que em perdonis. Entenc que passar de blau a blanc no és gaire dificil. És facil també passar del vermell, al taronja, al groc, etc. Peró que pasa si volem una transcició del blau al groc (per exemple). No volem verd. Com es fa? Moltes gràcies pels teus videos, sempre n'aprenc."

Well, I do love zazz.

I love the cage :)

Holy shit what a great explanation on wet blending! No Fkin' Fear! (except the FEAR the band, they have some great albums...)

Sam Lenz: Stare at your mistake, let it dry and never do it again. Me: Well i i've got the first one down to an artform

i've been doing a lot less "lets get this lookin perfect" and a whole lot more "slap the colors on the plastic till it looks good" and it's been great for my brain and my pile of shame. would love to see you paint a cheap model - like the rune golem from the runewars core box.

Genious

We've come a long way since 2010 wheree everybody were making tutorials on how to glaze ultra-diluted paint on a mini for hours. Anyone remember 'juicing'?

Lol that episode of Metalocalypse where thy keep saying Zazz over and over again

Came for the painting, stayed for the mullet.

Soon we will all be saying “ Back in my days the right way to do wet blending was by putting the brush in one’s mouth” lol

Imma start my little bitta practice! Legitimate fear is illegitimate...or whatever! Yeah!!!

hey dude, are your line of brushes synthetic or natural hair brushes....also, i love your approach to making video's and i love your style, Keep up the good work my friend!

+1 new subber

But two thing coats?!! Just shows that there different techniques for dif times and no set rules. Great video, makes something that I always seen as ‘a pros’ paint technique and wasn’t confident enough to do, seem simple. I’ll give it ago on my bret pegasus.

Thank you for this video! Is wet blending on flat surfaces, easier?

Lovin these new format tutorials Sam, very much appreciated my man! Re wet blending - does the technique become more difficult the further apart two colours are in terms of hue and saturation (assuming one’s actual execution is solid)? e.g. trying to blend Ice Yellow and Carmine Red vs Blue Green and Dark Sea Blue. Should a beginner practice blending a colour and white before attempting to blend two hues?

So is this similar to two brush blending? Also what would be the best technique for blending say cloaks? Like a singular color scheme but with shadows and highlights or would you recommend another technique? I've been painting for a long time but mostly it's just been base-layer-shade-relayer-highlight and it comes out ok, but I'm wanting to up my game.

Another GD banger

nice and easy vid to watch and understand. Can you please tell me what brushes you used? TY
