OIL Painting Miniatures For Just $5 | Painting Miniatures with OIL Paints

Start OIL painting miniatures for just $5. Painting Miniatures with oil paints for cheap. This video will try to help you or influence you to start or try miniature painting with oil paints for cheap. No I am not giving you cheap student grade ( cheap ) oil paints sets you get at bookstores or oil washes that are just thinned down oil paints branded as "hobby grade " oil washes or those water soluble oil paints that I had for 15 years now. I am talking about real oil paints, fine arts oil paint tubes not named Winson & Newton.

I hope after watching this video, you will get a handful of oil paint tubes at your local art supply store or at the very least cancel your interest of purchasing " hobby grade " oil washes. #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer

From what I understand the cheap paint thinner from the hardware store has a strong scent. While it goes above the $5 point of the video, people may have a better first experience with Gamsol, or Speedball Mona Lisa mineral spirits. Good quick first video though on what is needed to set up for a different medium.

Oil paints are a solid method though a completely different monster than acrylic.

I got me a relatively cheap set of W&N oil paints last year and need to be better about messing with them. I need to take the plunge and try doing more than oil washes with them!

Oil washes are a fantastic entry into oil paints, and frankly, even if you generally prefer acrylics, they're still a great tool on their own. They've almost completely replaced acrylic washes in my toolkit. I mostly use more colorful acrylic washes for light staining, and oil washes for when I really want to dial up the contrast in the shadows, or add a hint of a color in the recesses.

Can you mix the oil paint into the normal acrylic paint? Like what is done with inks.

Salsa is good for everything~!

I love those thinner bottles with the beer bottle lids!

[sarmero]

Should I go for the artist rembrandt or just the basic line is better? Im trying not to waste my money but If its worth it I would happily spend XD

[xdeacis]

Thanks for this! Why did you stop using the water mixable oils? I just started using them (W&N Artisan); is the difference that big compared to traditional oil paints?

[ScytheNoire]

I can't believe they sell paint thinner in a pop bottle.
They even put a colorful label that looks like soda pop.

The only trouble (in my home) is the smell of white spirit / thinner.... :)

[JulienSrel]

I see a partial overlap with the use of inks. Now I have to ask. How would you compare ink wash and glaze with oil wash and glaze? When would you prefer one or the other?

[VladimirKharchenko]

Did not expect to see tubes of Ladoga and Sonet so far from their home xD (also W&N has a lot of brand fame, as paints they are pretty meh)

[jparks]

wth, such click bait. There's no way you can get this for $5 anywhere.

[garydarland]

Bad advice and skips a lot of information.
