About This Video

Miniature painting is fun, creative, and sometimes weirdly meditative… until it absolutely isn’t. In this video I sit down and tackle your biggest hobby headaches in one place: the BIG Mini Painting FAQ. You sent me hundreds of questions—glazing, wet blending, paint thinning, brush care, drybrushing, smooth blends without an airbrush, clean shading, smooth whites, burnout, painting more colourful, using fewer paints, digital mockups, and even the dreaded eyeballs—so I picked the most common (and most useful) ones and broke them down in a way you can actually apply at your desk. Along the way I share the exact stuff I do day-to-day: how I wet blend with quick strokes and the body of the brush, how I aim for that “thick milk” paint consistency (but change it depending on the job), and why I prefer recess shading over slapping a dirty wash over everything. I also point you toward genuinely helpful resources like the Eavy Metal Archive for box-art recipes, and I talk honestly about motivation—because hobby burnout is real, and sometimes you just need a “cheer up miniature” and a comfort movie to get going again.
