I have a question. Apparently no where in my country carries black primer. Is there an alternative? Or do I have to prime my miniatures at all?

[GirlPainting]

@ChaosGolem you don´t have to but you should do it. colour sticks better to the models if they are primed. maybe you can order some primer from a web store and ship it over to you.

@girlpainting i want to start painting miniatures but i dont want to spend a lot in case i dont like it, what would you recommend?

[GirlPainting]

@101fmp in that case i recomend a paint set. there you have some colours, brush and minis to test.

WTF, videos messed up for me D:, it looks like an old VHS video and keeps going green with squares :(

[GirlPainting]

@Younowkoed seems like a driver problem with your garphics card or with the flash player.

@GPkrissy Iv been wondering the same, sounds much like a dude changing his voice.

[godsrockchick1]

best panting ever in freaking middle earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RubiconXing]

@CrazedAngerSmash Yeah the voice sounded fake too. I'm guessing a trans.

[smackroscoe]

Just beautiful, beautiful work. If I ever get even half as good as GP I'll be deliriously happy. I wished she made dvd's of his secrets.

Mike...knock it off !!

[DrkBlueXG]

This guy sure does know how to paint! Even though he didn't show any actual painting.

[CrazedAngerSmash]

Er fucking weird!! Blatantly a hairy man's hands! Good info though, well done.

Is Girlpainting still doing videos, i havent seen any new ones in a long time.

@EradicatingWarlock You can use Gesso found at art stores as a wonderful primer. Also spray primers are avialable as well. Both come in black and white and can also be ordered online..search "Dick Blick". In a pinch you can use Titanium White as a primer. It is far better to use tubes of acrylic paint found in art stores rather than paints offered by miniature companies. They are the same or better and definitely cheaper by volume. I recommend Golden or Liquitex as excellent brands.

Excellent video! Love the "realistic" vs. "comic" style classifications! I offer one tidbit of info: not all acrylics are transparent. The "organic based" colors such as pthalo blue and green, hansa yellow, alizarin crimson, etc. are transparent, however the "metal based" colors, such as titanium white, all the cadmiums (red, orange, yellow), cobalt blue, among others--these are opaque and will cover other colors quite nicely, or make organics more opaque. Any questions just drop me a line.
