Like the title says, I’ve been painting figures with cheap dollar store craft paints (and a few other cheap materials) rather than “proper” hobby paints. Gauging if there is interest among people who might want to try mini painting but are intimidated by price or the idea of complexity.

These minis were printed on a lower quality printer, then primed with some kind of mystery spray paint during bad weather, then given to me. So this would be a guide in making tabletop standard baseline minis, and people following it would probably have better results than me but I’d do a starter guide if there is enough interest for me to take pictures and notes.

  • I got the impression from the idea of liquid talent, and it called back the many times I’d see applying brown wash as a suggestion for new painters, with very little detail on how and where exactly to apply it. Not always the worst idea, but I think elaboration on when and how to use wash is useful. Introducing people to wash is great, I just don’t want to let that introduction be the last guidance on the matter.
