Into to Airbrushing: Quicksilver Swords

samlenzartwork post Into to Airbrushing: Quicksilver Swords from patreon

This week I'd like to shine a light on my approach to diluting and applying paint with the airbrush. I've been having fun with my tripod and shot this intro outside. The background noise can be interpreted as peaceful or annoying. But I wanted to experiment a bit to keep things interesting, I hope you enjoy it. Good thing the...

samlenzartwork post Banshee of Acheron Part 2 from patreon

I'm proud to present the second part of this mini series on the Banshee. I'm still working on a good sign off so I guess an awkward I love you will have to do. I record these videos at all hours and some thoughts are released under the moonlight. All that aside I hope you enjoy this video!

Next up I think it's time to s...

samlenzartwork post Banshee of Acheron Part 1: The Haunted Water from patreon

Presenting part one of two in a double feature on the Banshee of Acheron. This model is from an out of print line from the 90's called Rackham Miniatures, lovely stuff. I realize I've been painting a lot of Games Workshop figures for these tutorials so let's change it up!

In part one I'm painting the rocks, exciting I ...

Celestial Barbarians Complete Process

samlenzartwork post Celestial Barbarians Complete Process from patreon

Ahoy mateys! Keeping that INDOMITUS train rolling, let's paint some forces from the opposing battle line.

I'm 40K curious, the temptation is high, so if were, theoretically, to start and army. This is how I'd do it. I have a few adjustments in hind sight. Some ultra matte clearcoat is needed as well, but overall I'm hap...

Time to take a swing at the John Blanche style, or Blanchitsu on the streets. I'm a huge fan of his work and this project will provide a lot of teachable moments. In this first video, I'm going over the build from the base up. I did my best to edit this footage down, it was hours of work in reality but this should sum it all ...

Speed Painting, Take One

samlenzartwork post Speed Painting, Take One from patreon

Speed painting falls into many categories, which is why I titled the video 'take one'. I can see numerous ways to get a quick and passable result. But this time, I present the technique I like to use on Zombicide figures. I'd want to have the whole set painted some day and within this lifetime so not every model has to be a m...

I want to pass along a big thank you to everyone who has joined me this first month (and a bit of last month). My goal has always been to make a living as an artist and share what I think is the most positive gift I have with the world around me.

Good Morning! Well, it was when I recorded this. I'm still having problems with Vimeo, waiting on customer support. So this is another YouTube video, I don't like having this out there for people to potentially steal, please don't. If my choice is to take that risk vs not posting, I have to take the risk. Hope everyone has a ...
