Miniature Painting Fundamentals 1

Welcome to the first installment in our Fundamentals videos! This is a new series of short videos focusing on the basics of miniature painting for new painters. In this video, Anne tackles getting a smooth base coat: what brush to use, loading the brush, tips for good application and what the result should look like.
The second video will cover washes, and is scheduled to hit around January 1st. Future videos will come out one per month and are released 10-14 days early to all of Anne's Patreon patrons! You can find the Patreon here:

Awesome! Was looking for a mini painting course, and here it is! Thank you kindly, and I can't wait to learn more.

[@tylerthansen]

Note to self: paint along the wet edge. Also, thank you so much for the tutorial!

[@thebrewgeek]

I like the short format. Very cool. 👍👍

[@Paintingbig]

That's great to hear! Some of the later ones are creeping a little longer...gonna try to rein them in in the future, I know a lot of people prefer shorter vids!

These videos are so good. I hope this channel starts to really take off. P.s. just missed the stream but I'm followed and notified now so see you next Saturday!

Yay you made it to KZbin, congrats, and can’t wait to see more.

[@Paintingbig]

Yes! Thank you! I mean, I've been just kind of putting some of my Twitch streams here, but that's not really focused instruction, so I totally get where you're coming from. :) Hope you enjoy the future videos!

Great video, thank you!

[@kendakari2166]

This is great! Thank you!

[@Paintingbig]

You bet! I think that some of the techniques that people think are "too simple to teach" actually benefit from a bit of a breakdown, especially for new people. :) I'm glad you liked it!

THANK YOU SO MUCH,theres so much advice online,and everyone always says thin your paint use a wet pallete etc,and i can never seem to figure out what i need to do or why my paint doesnt come out that creamy smooth that everyone else's does your advice that of using a wet pallet you can just use the paint as is helped me so much,alot of people say two thin coats including yourself,but it seemed like id have to use 4-5 coats just to get opaque coverage and i was only adding a drop of water to the paint,this has been so helpful thank you,also how do you decide what color your base coat should be ? is it just the color you intend the final product to be or do you paint over your base coat?

[@user-ie2kb5ji7c]

Great videos! Where did you get the palette?

[@Paintingbig]

Cheap Joe's Art Supply online--look for porcelain palettes, they come in various sizes. :) They are relatively inexpensive, sometimes prone to breakage in shipping but the company has had good customer service in sending a new one.
