Very informative, I've been doing layering for a while, and I now have a mini that I think I'll try this method on. Thanks for the tutorial .

Well, I'm not sure if my other comment posted, so sorry if it did. This was a great tutorial, I've been doing layering for a while now, and I'm gonna try this on my newest mini. Thanks for the tutorial.

Good explanation of the technique, and the graphics clearly show the idea.

Good Article! It would be helpful if you mention whether you use the flat of the brush or the point.

pitynoman, it depends on the brush you're using, as well as and on the area you're working with. So I don't think there can be any specific advise on the subject

Seems like a very effective technique. The graphics are also very well done. I would much prefer to see it actually done on a real model though. If I could get my blends to looks as smooth as they are on the computer graphic there, I would be beyond amazing. They theory is sound though. I'll try it out.

I don't understand, are you supposed to drag wet paint over a dry basecoat?? I tried this but i ended up with two layers. Even if i made the strokes light and quick. Please explain! -Erik

Excellent, I was just looking for something like this for my new Eldar Falcon. Very helpful, thank you for writing such a competent and useful article.

Awesome explanation of a technique that can be confusing for some.
And the graphs are perfect, the best possible.
I'm going to burn my GW painting guide now.

Very helpful, but it would have been nice to show us he results on one of your minis as well as the computer simulations! I'm going to try that for myself

Happy painting

Excellent, clear, concise. I for one find blending with just acrylics near impossible on a miniature. Blending with an enamel acrylic mix is more realistic. However if you just use acrylics feathering must be the way to go to keep your sanity, unless of course you are a pro which 99.9% of us are not.

Somebody knows a little photoshop! Nice article, going to try this one out...

Xcellent. I'd love to see some personal examples of application but the graphics demonstrated the concepts well. i look forward to trying this out.
