We all make them when painting miniatures....mistakes or 'oopsies' as we sometimes call them...or something worse ($%*!!!!) depending on the mistake. Whether it's too much Wash or Primer, a stray highlight or even a dodgy drybrush there are ways to fix them. In this video, we show you the six most common mistakes we have come across and often make ourselves and we show you how to both fix them and prevent them.
Enjoy😊

I asked my dad for painting advice and he said if you want a nice patterned finish use wallpaper.

I'd go so far as to say his style and presentation is the best on this site for making painting easy to understand and follow, and Duncan seems so natural at it. I know it must take a lot of effort and time to get such a quality production, so here's one small thank you from a random fan.

@jleemar22 3 года назад

Loved the video. A lot of videos either have advice that is so basic it's useless after you have painted even a few mini. Either that or it's so advanced it's way above my level. This was right in a good ball park for someone like me.

@wonderterror1541 3 года назад

You could probably make some really cool stain effects by doing something similar to how you got that wash ring on the cape. Leave a big spot of redish brown wash/watery paint, wait for the edges to dry, then dab it off and you'd probably get a pretty realistic old blood stain

@HeadHunterSix 3 года назад

I appreciate how your primary approach is "Take your time and avoid mistakes if possible". I see too many painters who say "Don't worry if you make mistakes, we can go over them later". That's inevitable to some extent, but the indisputable fact is "The fewer mistakes you make, the less time you will have to spend fixing them." Also, that helps to reinforce the habit of brush control, which is fundamental to more advanced techniques.

@toferkrz946 3 года назад

Just loads pf practice. People have been doing this miniature painting thing for decades. And even ten or fifteen years ago, there was very little online material on the subject, you had to just bang your head against the wall and figure stuff out for yourself by trial and error. With the wealth of tutorials, videos, tips and what have you, people starting out now can very easily kickstart their painting and catch up, tricks and techniques that now seem like no-brainers and are given to you by every content creator in the first five minutes used to take months to figure out by yourself. my wife recently wanted to try out painting, gave her a miniature, explained how basic highlighting works and her very first dude turned out like my hundredth because she could instantly use what I had to learn across several years. This is really the best time to get into miniatures, the amount of support and instruction you have at your fingertips instantly is unprecedented in the history of the hobby.
