No painting experience? No problem! Join us in this beginner-level class and experience the wonderful world of shiny metallic paints! We will cover thinning, drybrushing, simple shading and highlighting, and basic layering. We will also explore some common difficulties, as well as some fun tricks you can do. Having an OLD brush handy is recommended, since drybrushing is tough on the bristles.
Prep:
Wash and dry the miniature(s) thoroughly. Completely cover the miniature(s) with dark brown or black; Brown Liner works well as this initial "primer" coat for Bones plastic.
