Awesome stuff as always! Can’t wait for the next parts!
“Coal black” is such an odd name for a dark turquoise.
Thank you for your viewership and compliments ! It’s odd indeed… it’s clearly not the colour of charcoal or coal (and we know that because coal and charcoal have been pigments in different mediums for millenias, now). The colour of coal is of course either black or anthracite grey (from the greek word for coal). Perhaps it was named thus because it’s a cold black (like anthracite, but not quite as neutral) that serves as an interesting base for painting steam engines, soot, and piles of coal, greenish as a contrast with the red of embers and the bronze of… Read more »
Yeah, I think you’re right that it’s probably because it would be a great color to base sooty things or coal piles. And you’re welcome! I’ve watched a lot of different tutorials online but you use terms and ideas like “warm” and “cold” and those are concepts that I understand from a photography/lighting background. I love the emphasis on source lighting and I think it’s interesting how much you thin your paints. It also helps that you seem very well read and educated and draw inspiration from real things. Great stuff!! I really should give some of the P3 colors… Read more »
So much praise ! Thank you very much, although I don’t know if I deserve it all… 🙂 A mind never runs on “empty”, as knowledgeable people say. Generally, I don’t like brushes from paint brands, especially paint brands which are also miniature companies. Skilled brushmakers are rare, and there’s a whole market for artists leading to a specialisation in that skill set, almost forbidding cost-effectiveness for miniature companies. Likewise, you’ll find that acrylic tubes from artist’s supplies stores are very good indeed, and sometimes more affordable. However, especially lately, the miniature paint ranges have been especialy formulated for the… Read more »
An interesting figure that’s all ready looking great at the end of the first video Romain.
Luckily I don’t think you can have anyone have a go at you for this guys misnamed ethnicity, ha ha! But seriously come and join us in WAYPN, need you to show us your WIP 😀
Did I misname something ? 🙁 Pray tell…
HA! Ohhh man your good. nah I said that you could not be accused of it this week, being all blue skin like 😀 But because this came up
http://www.arcanepaintworks.com/blog-1/2016/6/9/ethnicity-in-miniatures
I think I may end up doing a video about skin colour on my little youtube channel where I do commentary.
Oh, good. Interesting article… I’ve been saying this a LOT in all my skintones tutorials, actually. Cheers ! 🙂
I think that clenches it I will have to do a video on it! I will put it up in the forums and I will link you to it!
Nice work man, love what your doing.
Great stuff Romain as usual, I love how fearless you are with your colours and sharing your studies on this subject really adds to the video, thank you for being generous with your time, talent and knowledge!!
So many compliments ! Thank you guys, I’m simply glad to be of use… 🙂
Another interesting one, i notice you have moved onto a wet pallet with a sponge, i still use a Jay cloth on a plate, do you find there is a difference?
Thanks ! 🙂
I always use a flat sponge… This is actually foam, like the one for packing minis in blisters. I find that the foam hold up more water, but it’s just due to its thickness compared to that of my usual flat cleaning sponge. I have previously used kitchen roll and other absorbent materials, but I always come back to sponge… usually more readily available and more efficient than anything else on hand.
thanks , i will have to experiment i think:-)
alwas not only great to watch wen I paint but great entertain as well thank you Romain
