a whole army to paint you want all the colors to be cohesive i totally get that if you have a very specific grayish blue that you need for all of your space wolves armor then just go buy that one bottle there's no shame in doing that but i've got another alternative as well grab a dropper bottle or a clear glass jar and mix your own and it's easy to do you're going to have plenty of paint to do it because in these jars you get NUMBER_TOKEN milliliters that is roughly four times the amount of paint you get in an average miniature paint bottle since these have so much paint in them i'm going to plan on mixing up a few colors that i use a lot like a couple of skin tones because i'm never going to run out of this stuff and i like to have a great starting point for skin which leads me to the next thing i prioritize and i think it's something we probably all do and that's value sure the paint can be good but how much does it cost golden prices these things just like many art companies do and that's by the pigment that means certain pigments are more expensive and they charge more for those bottles the cheapest bottles are roughly NUMBER_TOKEN bucks a piece and they go upwards of NUMBER_TOKEN apiece you can get a really nice starter set for NUMBER_TOKEN bucks with six colors and includes a couple of colors that are regularly NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN bucks a piece so yeah between NUMBER_TOKEN and NUMBER_TOKEN a bottle that sounds super expensive but it's not if you're considering price per ounce price per ounce this stuff is as cheap or cheaper than any miniature paint on the market you've been watching as i've built up volumes and highlights across each of the wet blended sections of the model and i've been only using that yellow green color to mix into those base tones to create these highlights i find it's often best not to over complicate this stage by adding a wide variety of different colors as highlights and adding just white as a highlight color is often really boring it's more important to me to keep in mind what areas will receive more layers of highlights so they become the focus of the piece at the end the model we're painting by lord of the print is some kind of elf warrior in what looks like a carapace armor much like an insect my brain immediately went to a praying mantis specifically the camouflage that they use in beautiful bright colorful areas like the orchid mantis i'm going to keep some of this pure bright green around the bottom sections of the armor to signify leaves and the stem of our flower and as we work up the model i'll bring in more bright colors seen in fruit and flowers in nature and because i'm moving away from that greenish color as we're moving up the model i'm actually transitioning away from using that bright yellow green as my highlight color i'm going to use a mix of cadmium yellow and titanium white to brighten up those highlights higher up on the model today's video is brought to us by the number one place that us creative types go to get our learn on skillshare skillshare is an online learning community with thousands of inspiring classes for creators explore new skills deepen existing passions and go down the rabbit hole of artistic enlightenment there's tons of applicable classes for our mini-hobby related things regarding
