Not sure if this belongs here or in one of the painting sections, so let's see what happens.
Have you guys watched the recently uploaded P3 painting tutorials on the PP official YouTube channel? I think their great. I've never seen myself as much of a serious painter, but I always took pride in my final result, as mediocre as it may have been. But after watching these videos, I feel like there are so many little corrections I never knew about, that I can now add to my painting techniques. I've already begun to notice a difference just in the first few jacks. Things like moving armor brushing up in order to before base coating, and basing with texture material prior to priming. Also, the biggest change, watering down the P3 paints. I had always just used paints and inks straight from the pot, but after watching the series with Dallas, and seeing how much he waters down each paint prior to using, I decided to give it a go. I wasn't thrilled about the idea of needing to do 2 coats, but I figured I'd see how it went. MY GOD! What an amazing difference. Base colors look smooth and even all over. The paint is so much easier to control and fit into corners and tight spaces. Hell even mistakes are easier to quickly wipe off.
I release these may be things that the rest of you have known about for years, but for me, these improvements are actually making me enjoy painting again, plus I'm producing, in my opinion, much better models. I would definitely recommend you give these videos a quick watch. All said and done they add up to about 15 minutes of footage.

I like them. I'm used to GWs videos but I found these to be better, and the techniques better and show case more.

Yes, they were very good. I used them to explain the basis to a protectorate new player and they were very clear. I'm moving this to the painting section, so we start to sort things a bit to avoid confusion.

Interesting, I'll have to check them out later.

As I mentioned in the similar thread, Dallas is sloppy. I'd expect more from a professional painter. He slops way too much paint on his palette (when he uses it at all), paints full-strength straight from the pot, and gets paint all up under the ferrules of his brush.
The only other possible rational explanation is that he's doing so deliberately, so that new painters who watch these videos will have to buy more paints and new brushes.
