Time for the next stage of painting the Purple Worm from Gale Force Nine. We've all seen the ground work being lain down for this mighty paint job but in this part we really see the miniature pop and come to life.

Hi Romain
Great video as ever. I was wondering if the washes you use throughout the worm are they just paint + water or do you use a medium?
Cheers and btw, great tattoo:)
Thanks for the kind words !
No medium here, just water, even when wet blending. I’m not stopping you from putting medium in your mixes if you want to, or if you need more time to work your blending (it’s perfectly all right, even for experts), but don’t put too much or it’ll take forever and a day to dry.
The tattoos are still expanding, by the way 😉

Thanks ! That’s the idea.
Happy painting ! 🙂
Great videos the three!
Hope to see more from you Romain!

Any chance of a full pic of the tattoo? I’m going to start learning the art very soon and i’ve found yours to be great 🙂
Cheers and once again Thank you!
Thanks for your keen interest ! I’ve answered that question about washes and glazes before, but never in a video. A wash is a mix of paint diluted with either water, medium, or an even more surfactant product. The purpose of this dilution, in a wash, is for the pigments to slip into the crevices of the miniature, thus achieving a kind of shading. The wash is usually to be applied in the creases or the miniature, on a single surface (trusting the pigments to shade that surface in its nooks and crannies) or all over the miniature (in which… Read more »
Thank you so much Romain! You are THE MAN!!!! Looking forward to your next videos and why not…your next needloework:D
