Duncan Rhodes: "...And I took that personally"
-
I like my food the way I am...always salty.
-
9:52 The only technique from that list that I'm familiar with is "dry stroking" but I have a feeling we're not talking about the same thing.

Inquisitor 1 : He has committed Heresy Inquisitor 2 : Has he cast doubt on the word of the Emperor? Inquisitor 1: Worse, he has cast doubt on the word of Duncan!
-
Watching Duncan’s videos on his website, I kinda like how “2 thin coats” has just became a sort of meme for him. In his actual videos he’ll explain how long each step will take and how many coats will be necessary, particularly in regards to painting dark over light colors, actually talking about the properties of the paint as he’s applying it. But, I guess the catch phrase was just so iconic that it’s taken a life of its own.
-
There's a difference between a professional and highly detailed paint job to a way for beginners to started. Duncan has always been about entry level to not overwhelm them on the intimidating hobby.
-
I always remember when I was young, people at school would often proliferate the myth that top painters use a brush with just one hair for tiny details. In my experience when a brush's bristles fall out to the point that there's barely any left the paint just forms a bead about halfway up the bristles and no paint moves to the tip, so the idea that having a brush with a single hair would be anything other than shit seems pretty unlikely to me.
-
I'll be real with you, painting that model looks like an absolute nightmare. Whenever I see an STL pop up with 27 ''belts'' looping all over everything I close the tab, run away from the screen and burn the house down for good measure.
-
That thing about two thin coats is honestly great to hear. I feel pretty validated in my "no idea how to thin paints well so just thin them a tiny bit then spread it around a lot" approach. Thanks Zumikito, a lot of self-doubts have been cast-off.
-
I think there's a persistent myth that there is a magical technique out there, that will turn a beginner painter into a master. There isn't. Skill and time still make the greatest difference. A skilled painter will still do something spectacular with a limited toolkit, and given enough time, a less skilled painter will become more skilled, and start to paint better.

I love how everyone takes shots at army painter but after watching a lot of your vids, I got better results with my army painter paints. The best advice on paints I give is to get some practice minis and learn how the paints work. then you can do anything really

Duncan : "I've never wanted this. I've never wanted to unleash my 2 thin coats"
-
Also Duncan: so you have chosen death
-
Like others have said, "two thin coats" was originally meant to drill a simple concept into beginners: it's better to apply more than one thin smooth coat of paint, than try to cover on the first pass with thick goopy paint." That is all. At the time it was actually very needed advice! One of the primary stumbling blocks for beginners is simply not understanding how paint works. It's natural to assume to slap them paint on an object and walk away, like coloring in the line with a crayon.

Dude just declared war on Duncan Rhodes

Army Painter is my go to, because it's accessibly priced, widely available, and fits my painting needs. I'm a normie painter - I make pretty good looking minis that will never, ever win a paint contest. =D And that's fine! I can understand why a pro painter would want something better, in the same way that a professional race car driver would want something that drives faster than a Honda Accord. But for the masses... an Accord is comfortable, affordable, and perfect.
-
Always worth a watch, buddy, love your work!
-
Two Thin Coats method was EXCELLENT for me when I was a beginner painter. Following Duncan’s videos, it really was one of the best techniques to get me familiar with working with miniature paint… 7 years later and I usually dip out of the pot with a wet brush… I’ve got my style down for a proper consistency, so no pallet is required. . Improving your skill is the most important and learning new methods to achieve that 💜
-
I guess in these enlightened times, it's safe to come out of the closet.... Hello, my name is Phil and I'm a one coat painter.
-
i've never used 2 thin coats. it's also why i do a lot of dry brushing
