Contrast Paint? Make Your Own Custom Washes Instead!
Contrast Paint? Make your own heavy washes for use on minis, using the games workshop contrast paints for Inspiration. I share my thoughts on the contrast paint release. I also talk about the value of experimentation when painting minis.
I gathered up my Dark Eldar test models, primed them white, and went to work! I compared dozens of my own homebrew washes with the shiny new contrast paints, and I had a lot of fun! I found a few great recipes, and I know there are more yet to be discovered.
In this video I encourage you all to spend some time just playing with your hobby supplies. Get the feel for them and learn how to modify them. As the artist, YOU control your paints, not the other way around :-)
