The one thing to remember as a beginner painter is it’s only paint, it’s not permanent you can always repaint.

I'm not a beginning painter. I just had a rough day, and I'm here to listen to Peachy's soothing voice. :)

Never thought I'd see Halfords Grey Primer on The Painting Phase.

Peachy, Geoff and Pat are the real OG's!

This is the most important advice for any new painter. Understanding and accepting the "ugly stage". Once you learn to apply criticism at the END of a work and not before its even been born you can start to improve and just plain have fun. I think 50% of all experience with minipainting and maybe any creative hobby is building up a tolerance to that "ugly stage" so you can actually create.

I am a complete beginner and am consuming so many videos and can honestly say this is easily one of the better ones, especially showing the facets of layering. Nice one.

Peachy makes the vids I need, but didn’t know I need them. 5 stars for this wonderful man.

Dunkin was watching to make sure you used 2 thin coats

i love how peachy takes the time to explain things in "laymans" terms. too often you see presetners just throw around terms that people new to the hobby dont understand.

I’m not a beginner but something therapeutic about listening to the basics and listing to peachy

Loved the Richard Grey subliminal message flash at the start. Great editing Pat.

Regarding priming in colder temperatures - it's perfectly doable as long as the paint itself doesn't get too cold, so warm the spray can in a water bath before use, don't take too long outside so the models or paint gets cold, and take the models inside to dry.

@Capzielios 2 years ago

Well, This is about the coolest promo they could have done.

@Nosferatuklown 2 years ago

Awesome video, production quality on this one was top notch! It's cool Blizz came out with some STLs I've always wanted some warcraft love.

I love listening to Peachy explaining how to paint.

@ao-b2774 2 years ago

You can use brush-on primer if spray can outside and airbrush inside aren't options. Vallejo black primer (I think intended for airbrush) works really well for me. It looks a bit patch when it goes on and dries, but gives a perfect based for paint to go on. I find it better than spray in some regards, you're much less likely to over apply the primer and losing detail. It just takes longer than spray.

It's also really useful for getting the bits you miss when you spray outside. My go to is citadel Chaos Black outside, and then then the missed bits with the black primer.

The little details like 2 parts water 1 part paint give or take a little is what makes this video great for beginners ive never painted before so things that might be common sense for others is very new to me the layering of paint aswell id think the thicker the better but when you explain it makes sense great video
