With time Romain, I will be as good as you.
I sincerely hope you’ll be as good or better than me, building upon what you see here ! That’s the whole idea, really.
BoW Romain
well it was great, looking forward to the next one you do.
looks really nice, but i’d like to see this mini in some pictures ^^ even in hd vid-quality i cant see how the details look like ^^ and i would like to see this!!!!
btw, i first saw this in your video, this “wet-paper” where you put your paints on. just did the same, and i must say, this was a really great ! the paints last much longer and they seam to be a little bit more liquid then usual! i used to put my paint on the plastic parts from the blisters -.- befor i saw your vids!
thx for this!
Yes, the wet palette did take me up a notch with my painting, simply because I didn’t have to pause or mind my paint consistency as much…
That said, a lot of painters still use a plastic palette (or blister pack, or a plastic bit with handy little depressions, such as the cut-out bottom of a mineral water bottle for example) to mix their tones… And sometimes, after mixing, they will put them on the wet palette.
It can be useful if you mix large quantities of paint, but for single minis the amounts are just too small to require that kind of logistics !

Good stuff as always. What I would have liked to see is the final step of the miniature, the varnishing. Since most of us here on Beasts of War use minis for gaming, the applying of a protective coating is in most cases a must. I understand that some miniature painters who only paint, don’t even varnish the minis as the protective coating will affect how the colours are perceived.
This leads up to the question what kind of varnishes and varnishing techniques are best for retaining the colour? Can varnishing be used as an effective part of the highlighting process? Like using matt and gloss varnish on the same model, even mixing and blending these two together. Mixing paints and washes to varnish the get a desired effect. I know some of this is pretty advanced stuff, but I can see the potential for a BOW article about varnishing as I have c**ked up hours fine blending with bad varnishing 🙂
I didn’t watch all the episodes entirely so if you dropped some hints on varnishing, I didn’t get them.
@netdiver, you’re absolutely right, I haven’t talked about varnishes at all.
We may yet do something about that…
BoW Romain
I do like these videos, but you really should get a closer focus on the close-cam. We are missing out on a lot of the details.
thanks BoW for restoring Romain’s awesome voice !
awesome painting series, although id really like to see the finished miniature in more focus 🙂
I’m know as an honest person…Sorry but the finished product here was not all that impressive. It appeared as if you blotched the paint on and the whole mini ended up looking very Dry and Blotchy. It could be the camera work, however your hands looked crystal clear so I’ll assume the mini looked as off as I interpreted it. I don’t mean to be overly harsh, but the whole point of a tutorial is to have the viewer aspire to the end result…and in this case, this is not the end result I wish to attain. Thanks for sharing though, your personality was enjoyable and the comments interesting. 🙂
I know. It’s not as clean as what Angel Giraldez does… And even he botches a job every now and then.
And the colors are more an hommage to the Monkey King than a real color scheme.
This is just a tutorial for beginners, to give you the gist of the technique… We’re not looking to do something wholly impressive.
But you’re right, what’s the point if you can’t aspire to the end result ?
I’ll endeavor to do better next time.
BoW Romain
I really liked your paying tribute to the Monkey King with the paint scheme. This really reminded me of the show “Monkey Magic” that I watched in the 80’s.

“don’t mean to be overly harsh”
But do you mean to point out that we are all ‘inferior’ in painting. Just because we realy don’t see any point in taking weeks to blend somethign so we can have fun playing a game? Not everybody ahs to be as great as you (and as of yet I haven’t seen any of your ‘master peices), though Romain is an amazing painter without a doubt. But he wants to try and teach some of us beginners how to paint to a table top, if not higher, quality with simple and easy techniques.
So Mr Killaminis please post some of your work before tryign to bring down soem great work done by somebdoy who does this -as far as we all know (probably including him)- for free.
I second the need for pics of the finished product. And though the colours on this monkey are not my cup of tea, I find these tutorials greatly inspiring (aside from the fact that I really learn something listening to Romains insights on colour usage). This really fires up my painting mojo!
