Simple answer: add brown to everything. Colors in scale tend to be more
dull, so blacks become grays and whites become beige. It’s due to less
light on the subject, similar to looking at something in low light can make
the colors appear to change and become more uniform. While that’s what
happens in real life, mini painting replies a lot on the painter
him/herself, so you can choose to either add the effect, ingore it, or add
more contrast to fight it.

At time stamp 3:57 you have just said you are dry brushing Panzer ace dark
mud. It sure looks like khaki or even green grey , anything but a brown. I
realized the paint is wet but it does not look brown in any shape or form.
I enjoy your videos, just had a question.

You can’t go by chip colors. Those are made by a printer and often
inaccurate.

Have you tried using a wet palette? There’s a number of youtube vids that
tell how to make them. They are really helpful for keeping paints wet. I
store my wet pallette in the fridge becuase I mix colors and I dont want to
keep remixing them. I have been using the same palette for about 2 months
now.

I use a white porcelain tile too in addition to the wet palette, but
@Kodokijolyus is having palette drying issues. The wet palette is the
solution for that. One can try and be more careful with keeping paint on a
dry palette wet, but that can be a nuisance if one is concentrating on some
detail. If I need the paint dryer (or even wetter) I bring it to the white
tile and get it to the consistancy needed there.

I am also just getting started with Flames of war and like the way you
don’t use metallic paint for guns. However what would you suggest using for
brassas in shell casings?

Great video. I like the fact you paint the base first which speeds up the
process because you are not so worried about the odd flick of paint getting
on the troops.

Very good vid, but I prefer to paint the minis and afterwards base them.
That way I dont get flock on the figures.
