I've used oils to do horses. For bays and chestnuts paint an acrylic undercoat of tan. Then brush on a very thick wash (much thicker than you have used here) of burnt umber or Van dyke brown and let stand for an hour or so. Then wipe with foam. Depending on the breed I might apply black or white to the lower legs. For White and gray horses undercoat in gray white and apply oil wash using Payne's Gray. This technique will also let you create dappled grays where you stipple on gray and white washes on hind quarters and shoulders. Oil washes on horses can look rather glossy which can reproduce the effect of sweaty hair. I've had less success doing black horses with this method.

Great video! One little tip i got was that when you mix your wash, it will go faster to achieve a smooth blend if you mix the paint with a small part of the thinner first. That helps break up the lumps. Then you add more thinner to get the consistency you want. Its like making pancake batter. If you mix the flour with all the liquid right away there will be lumps. If you add part of the liquid and mix, you will get a smooth blend much quicker 👍
@Delta66-jz1vl Ай бұрын
Thanks for another good video. Although you don't "Need" to varnish before applying oil washes, you can use varnish to your advantage, depending on what type of effect you want. A gloss varnish coat will help the oil wash to flow and is great is you just want panels lining for example. In contrast a coat of matte varnish will make the surface rougher, as a result the oil wash will "stick" more to the surface and this is good if you want to stain larger areas. Moreover, as you mention, a varnish coat gives some protection to your paint layers if you intend to rub the oil wash more agressively. In practice I have found that even using a gentle brush dipped in white spirit to clean up the wash can easily damage you previous acrylic layers.

To speed up drying time, just add to your wash Cobalt drier (see product for proportions). I wonder if Vince uses it and his thoughts about that stuff. It works fine for me, tho you have to keep in mind oils always take long time time to FULLY cure. There's also oil brands (think Abteilung) formulated for model painting which also slightly cut the curing time over cheaper options. WinTon has always been my go to brand tbh but Abteilung are good too.

I had previously done a little bit of panel lining with oil paints and it was amazing. I had a rocky base on a model last night and I tried going over the whole base with brown to get dirt between the rocks. It wiped off amazingly but left "dirt" between the rocks and made them nice and dirty without making them look like brown rocks. This hobby never ceases to find new ways to amaze me.

For me, the biggest barrier to oils is disposal. In my area (not sure how much it varies across states) acrylics can go in the trash, while oils/mineral spirits have to go to hazmat disposal which is a pain and sometimes has disposal fees. Great video for those who are so inclined though.

There is also "oil dot filter" technique used by scale modelers and applicable to big miniatures. It is used to break the uniform look of plain areas. Basically you place a whole bunch the dots of different colors oil paint or wash on the model and then depending using dabbing or streaking movements of the brush you blend them in across the whole model. This gives a model more worn look and makes it look quite a bit interesting.

Great video vince as always. I need some advice here: I recently started a custom Mark 2 Horus Heresy White Scars army and I applied all the base colors and nice transitions (white armour, red shoulderpads) with an airbrush. Then, I applied decals with microset and microsol, sealed with varnish through airbrush, all nice and good. Next step is to get all the little recesses, bolts, etc. shaded so oil wash time, the plan after that is easy going again. I tried a dark grey and different black and brown mixes from Winsor & Newton, Abteilung 502 and already finished ones from AK such as starship wash. No matter how thin or thick I mix it and no matter if I apply no varnish, matte varnish or gloss varnish before the oilwash, it ALWAYS stains the white too much even after really removing all of it on the surfaces as good as I can (no matter if I let it dry first or not, also tried all kinds of mineral spirits and solvents) with q-tips and brushes. I just can't make it work to just get the recesses nice and dark and the surface as close to the original cold white as I can. I also tried just pinwash but it was basically the same result. I applied the same process with a 30k Death Guard army with awesome results so I am very surprised that cold white in contrast to bone color causes such an issue. Any ideas?
@VinceVenturella 3 ай бұрын
So cold whites like that use a large titanium pigment likely, so they are very matte and can trap pigment from the wash really easy, making it difficult to get completely clean. In effect, they are always going to be stained to some degree. You can minimize it some with a heavy gloss varnish, but there is always going to be some residual staining.
@michaelf.7339 3 ай бұрын

Correction: when oil paints cure, they DO react with the oxygen in the air. Without oxygen, they won't cure at all! However, the reaction is initiated by light (ultraviolet light in particular), and as you said, it is much slower than the evaporation of the white spirits.

How long do you find it takes before the wash has cured enough to paint over again with acrylics. I ask because I tried some of Marcos techniques from NJM and found that days later my figures still seemed completely uncured. It was actually bad enough that I tried adding in some drying agents and also made a little heater box to try and speed the drying process (be very careful with this, I have a Stormstrike chariot crew that is slightly deformed).

Its gaming models, so there will be some minor touching to the models (although they are magnetized and in movement trays). Would the oils go off? Thanks for your amazing work and support to the community!

I don't ever varnish metals, once they have fully sured, you shouldn't have an issue.

Hey Vince! LOVE your videos as they really have made getting into this hobby more accessible. This really makes me want to jump into oil washes. Quick Q: if doing the simple wash with these, should this be done after the miniature is pretty much complete (base, layers, highlights) AND/OR can it be done after base coats and before layering/highlights? Just trying to better understand what step would yield the best results.
@VinceVenturella 3 ай бұрын
Generally, after base coats, then let is cure and back to acryllics for highlights and such.

What about water mixable oils with compatible thinner (usually a monopropylglycol/water solution), does the mix give us a comparable result as regular oil with solvent ?

Haven't really messed with water soluble oils yet, its on the list for the future.

05:14 you mention that oil points cure with "light". I'm not a chemist (I dropped my chemistry major for physics) but isn't the oil medium just oxidizing? So air plays a pretty critical role in this. I don't see what role light has to play in this process.

I love oil washes. Tried Monument Hobbies Newsh recently. It's a pretty good acrylic approximation, but I actually lifted paint when I was wiping it off, particularly on certain edges. Maybe varnishing first in that case might be a good idea since it's acrylic medium?
@VinceVenturella 3 ай бұрын
Varnishing can stop that, less liquid can stop that, softer brushes or lighter touch can help.

Thank you very much for the video. I have ordered a couple winsor newton's after watching it. But I do not have access to white spirit or mineral spirit on where I live. Are there any alternatives? I use vallejo acrylics and I don't want to varnish before washes.

Not really, you should be able to find white spirits somewhere, an art store or similar, it’s fairly common. But you will need it for this .

@@VinceVenturella Does the brand matter? I found Talens white spirit on the internet, but also it says terpentine on the front. Is there a difference? Your Gamsol says mineral spirit on the front, do I really need mineral spirit over white spirit?

Artists' oil paints on the basis of natural and synthetic fatty oils *cure through oxidization and polymerization - which totally depends on the absorption of oxygen from air.* UV light only plays a role in making a precursor substance from linseed oil, typically used in traditional painting mediums (siccative de haarlem). Accelerator substances for oil paints are therefore catalysts speeding up the oxidation process, usually cerium or manganese based (in the past, lead-based). Painting mediums of the "quick-drying" type (also) contain a resin solution where a solvent evaporates, leaving behind a resin "matrix" (dammar or a synthetic resin) that traps the fatty oils until the oxidation / curing process is complete. Those "physical" drying mediums should only be used on lower layers. Then there are of course oil/wax mixtures that can be UV-activated, but those are not oil paints - but that could, in theory, be mixed with artist's oil paints. This does work but the results are typically not very lively and work best for absorbing materials like in terrain building. Also, those substances can overheat and combust under certain circumstances. (me: professional toy developer & human factors dude, teaching materials & surface treatment tech.)

Would mixing these oil washes work with the dirty down weathering stuff u covered before?

Hey Vince, great video as always, your videos are helping me to improve a lot and I am so thankful. I have heard from some people using oil paints on canvas that you need to wear specific masks when using oil paints and solvents, as their fumes can be toxic to inhale especially when used indoor. What's your take on this? Any suggestion safety-wise?
@VinceVenturella 3 ай бұрын
Not really something you have to worry about too much with the amounts we use, this is just a little bit in a tiny cup, so its not generally an issue.
