Reply To: The problem with painting tutorials

After painting figures for nearly 30 years, the biggest thing I can say is that there is no right or wrong way to paint. Like in most forms or art there are many different styles all as equally valid. Being comfortable is my most important piece of advice.

Find the paint you like to work with, find the brushes you like to use and the techniques you like.

I personally use Vallejo’s air paints on a wet pallet with a brush. I have a magnifying glass and a really good light, but that is so I can actually see what I am doing rather than anything about getting OSL or the right colour shade.
