Thin your paint! Basecoating basics

[hurrsia]

"Two Thin Coats" repeats over and over in my head whenever I paint. Ma boi Duncan has done wonders for the painting community in miniatures.

>Two thin coats

YOOOO HE SAID THE LINE

[Ripper]

Thank you for explaining the consistency. Literally every other video just says till it pulls back but none said milky consistency and that’s why I never felt like I did it right. I will have to try this my next painting session

[kickasspeanuts]

man I don't know how this man is literally painting on AIR

I know ita not finished but i actually really like the way the orc looks at the end.

Its got like a Saturday morning cartoon/low res video game vibe to it.

I've discovered some fun doing 1 thin coat of regular paint intentionally leaving it a little patchy. Once that's dry, i do a second layer, this time in a similar color of speedpaint. Really brings more variety out of the Speedpaints or contrasts when the color of the surface underneath isn't perfectly uniform.

Congrats on being the most goated person giving painting tips on yt shorts.
Most of us are beginners, we dont need tips on zenith painting or power sword gradient. We need tips on how to get on that level first, so dam do I appreciate this. It's the simple stuff that veteran painter do everytime without thinking about it that we might not know & making out lives harder lol

[mandyfaux]

Thank you helped me make me not be discouraged for painting

[Somnarius]

This is honestly the thing I struggle with the most starting off painting! This is super helpful thanks!

[Remyinajar]

For some odd reason i dont suffer from this, i just watch the amount of paint on my brush and it still looks pretty good

[eggabacon]

My thinning process is dipping my brush once or twice in water and then wiping it off a bit on a towel (while twirling it to help it keep it's point) and then painting, works very well

[ablacktemplar]

I like the orange and purple colour scheme

[viewtifuljoe]

People say thin your paints but not many say how to do so as if people are expected to know what the Hell that means lol. Thank you very much for the vid.

[alberich]

A little tip.
The consistency of milk never helped me it was to vague.

What I found is that if I dialute my paint to a point where when I brush strope it on my pallet is doesn't stay put but slightly contracts into itself I have dialuted it enough to go on in 2-3 coats.

The orc one looked kinda retro with the bright orange and bright green with the dark blue, I actually really like it

[rickstar]

Milk consistency, I've been going for melted ice-cream 😢😢😢😢😢

[TacKnight]

This was very helpful. I know I have to thin the paints but I don't know the right consistency or how to apply it, Thanks!

[AngelofDeath]

I don’t use water to thin my paints. I makes sure my paints are evenly distributed across my figures. I use small amounts of paint on a tiny brush, works wonders

[ThePrinceOfSpace]

its wild that some people paint a full mini, or paint on the sprue

[ega]

Did you use citadel or the army painter paints on that ork warboss?
