About the Project

In this project I will go through some experimentation with painting in the Grimdark style and using those lessons learned to develop my own, more gritty paint style. I will be using oil paints for the first time in combination with acrylics, enamels and some wax paints, hence the title...

That is the first layer of shading done on Haleth from Hasslefree Miniatures. Now I just got to wait until it is properly cured before doing the next.

Shading Layer 1

Due to the changes in my painting setup I can not as easily make pictures as I do the steps I go through. These changes were kind of necessary for me to be able to paint again. Since I have already shared how I do most of the stuff, I don’t think it should be necessary. If anything new comes up or I change anything, I will make the effort to share that.

A Good Session.

I had a really good painting session today. I got the metals upped and shiny again after the varnishes on Haleth and did the acrylic base layers on Boudi, both from Hasslefree Miniatures.

I fixed up the face and gave her a primer beauty mask, sadly I did not have scale cucumber slices….

After that I did paint up the face and she kind of looks like a clown, but I am hoping the shading will fix that up.

Because of the success yesterday, I thought let’s try some more….. That did not go so well, got something more done, but also ruined her face. I tried to fix that and made it worse and again and again. And now she looks like a damaged cyborg….. 😔😩 I’ll fix it later.

The changes to my painting setup are working to improve things, but I still don’t expect to be painting regularly. We’ll see I guess, I’ll keep trying though.

Again, my health is limiting me how much I can paint. 😩😔 But at least I got a little bit done on Dynamic Haleth from Hasslefree Miniatures. At this stage I might get this model done by the end of the year…..
