Reply To: What Painting Method do you Use and Why?

Have to admit I used to go for the “triad method” but around 18 months ago got diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis that has effected my hands so now its going back to block colours, washes and highlight. Most of my painting is for gaming so it works for the table. I have also started using some “acrylic paint” pens that are good for picking out lace etc.

Paints wise I still use Foundry (I bought the original sets when they first came out and most are still going strong), Vallejo and Army Painter. Army painter for washes mainly and if you are doing WW2 figures the Military Shader was a revelation.

Also if anyone else has issues with there hands I would recommend  wrapping brush handles to increase the diameter, I use Oyumaru instant moulding compound that was recommended to me on the site and can be molded into a comfortable grip.
