Heads up and a Little Gift!
Added 2025-11-17 18:00:09 +0000 UTCHello guys!
In the last months I've been working and experimenting even more than usual with oils, soooo I've invested in a proper drying box!!!
About drying boxes and their benefits (protection from dust, speeding up the exsiccation, matting effect), if you have been here for a while you probably remember this video, that soon after I turned to Unlisted because I was embarrassed by my own craftsmanship, lol (it's still hidden and of course dated, so be gentle lololol) --> https://youtu.be/Qi5nIwvgzhw
We learned that products disappear quickly after a video so, in case you are committed to oil painting and you want to have a bit of advantage, here's the one I bought!
(I almost posted a picture with a Darkwater model under embargo! π±π

It's essentially a food dryer with a single, set temperature (45'C), and you can totally buy one of those (they literally do the same job!), but I like this one for the small footprint and size and the general form factor of the lid that's more painter friendly than the oven shaped ones.
!!! AAAAAAAND... !!!

Hey Marco! I got some cheap oil paints to see if it would be something I enjoyed. I now regret getting the cheap ones, they seem to separate and get clumpy, and I had some issues with my acrylic layers underneath getting damaged. Now I'm hearing about these heavy body acrylics and water color gouache paints. I was wondering / hoping / thinking that comparing all these would be a really cool video idea with all the different kinds of paints people are using for mini painting now. What I really want to know is if I should get heavy body acrylics or just some nice oil paints. I know that will be a subjective answer, but your insight is always welcome. Thanks Marco! I love you!

2025-11-17 21:42:46 +0000 UTCI never knew there were dedicated airbrush dryers! I literally just bought a food dehydrator a couple weeks ago for the same purpose after seeing them used on the airbrushing channel Barbatos Rex. I just used it the first time this weekend on a batch of oil washed Kruleboyz. At least the bigger box I bought can pull double duty as a filament dryer for my FDM printer, so the bigger size is not a complete waste of space.
