In these two videos, I go over the basics of painting silver metallics, and briefly discuss some techniques for golds at the end of part 2.
Would like to get some secret weapon washes. I wonder what colour of washes are basic and appropriate for beginners?
That depends on what you want to use them for. If you want to paint metallic silvers such as these, I would suggest the Armour Wash, and Heavy Body Black. Some basic colours might also be of use, but if you want to let me know what you intend to use them for, I can make some suggestions.
Well, I was thinking to paint an army of cygnar. Mostly I would paint it blue with the same colour scheme as the official ones. Blue armor, human flesh, bronze, leather as such…
Then all you’d really need is the Armour Wash and Heavy Body Black for your silvers, and Sewer Water for your golds.
If you’re a painter that uses a lot of washes for shading instead of layering/blending, then I’d suggest the Blue Black Wash for your blues, and maybe the Dark Sepia for your browns.
I find the Flesh Wash a bit too orange for my tastes, but this could be fixed by adding a bit of blue or green to the wash to neutralize the orange colour.
Thank you, it was a very helpful information. It’s good to have a heads up suggestion before trying something new
