Hello Ninjon! Thanks for choosing GOLDEN. [Really, thanks!]
-
My wife is a more traditional artist and we did some general color mixing palates with miniture paints versus artist acrylics. It basically converted me to using artist arcylics for miniture painting. She was stunned that miniture paints don't say what is in them usually and that the reason why I wasn't happy with the colors mixing was because there was too much white or black in the paints.
-
I am a canvas painter as well as a mini painter, and I can tell you that Golden is the cream of the crop as far as acrylics go. Not surprised you enjoy these ones.
-
Your intros are absolute gold. I come for the hilarity and stay for the fun of watching you deal out knowledge in a way that feels like a conversation at a friend's table.
-
I spend a stupid amount of time admiring my paint bottles, their shape, colors, and names all placed in groups on the racks. It's just pleasing.
-
The bonus here is that Golden is a really awesome company if you look into how they're organized. It's great to support companies that support their employees.
-
Every mini YouTuber - “Let me review ArmyPainter speed paints” Jon - “Let me review an artist range that wet blends better”
-
That first sentence has been my last 6 months in a nutshell. I've been trying a whole bunch of new ranges and new things.
-
Congrats Jon, it seems like you’re starting to find your video identity. Your spliced up goofs and gags went from a bundle at the end to a tasteful sprinkle throughout. I enjoy this evolution greatly. From here on I’d encourage you to experiment with editorial evolutions, shots compositions, camera placement, light fixtures. You’ve shown how creative you can be with models video materials thus far…don’t stop experimenting.
-
"These are artists paints, they don't count" ended myself on this one! I use those kinds of excuses all the time to justify what I'm doing haha
-
Golden does a better job than most artist companies to communicate their paint qualities. They have a blog, Just Paint, where they deep dive into the science of acrylics. Worth a read even if you don't use their paint.
-
Shoot, why does Jon always make me want to buy things.
-
Hey Ninjon, awesome video! I love Golden acrylic paints, but just a heads-up, Cadmium and Cobalt pigments are toxic (they're heavy metal pigments) so should be handled with some care. Figured that would be worth mentioning. That paint job looks AWESOME btw!
-
I recently started experimenting with these paints, and they are awesome. The Pyrrole Red is probably the best red I ever tried, and the Payne's Grey is a very nice "universal" shadow color (doesn't work with everything, but almost).
-
I'm so happy you did this video. I've done a few tests with this line and I was amazed at how matte they were. I did have a bit of trouble getting them thin and smooth enough, though, so I didn't end up doing much. After watching this, I may just give them another shot!
-
Incredible! Painting this character as an orchid-like mantid was brilliant. It is a tribute to your skill you pulled it off so masterfully.
-
There is tremendous satisfaction in mixing your own colors (when you are successful at it!). I started doing it because I was cheap… I kept doing it because I realized I was getting better and better at it.
-
Just discovered this channel, really great stuff! Well presented and fun to watch, ended up watching way more videos than I intended. I think you have a really unique painting style, your color combinations are absolutely awesome, being able to come up with that stuff is a gift.
-
Golden also sells some paints in dropper bottles designed for airbrushing. I bought a few of the fluorescent paints and they blew me away.
-
Hello and thank you for the presentation of this color range! I have also treated myself to some of these colors and am thrilled. Especially Pyrolle Red is one of the most opaque and vibrant reds I have ever worked with.
