Speed Paint Class: Enhance the Foundational Techniques of Mini Painting

Master the fundamental techniques of mini painting —undercoating, drybrushing, shading, and edge-highlighting—on a piece of scatter terrain. Whether you’re building scenery for a skirmish game or a special base for your favorite mini, this hands-on workshop provides a repeatable formula to get high-impact results. In this instructor-led class, you'll paint a two-sided terrain piece that can create different moods depending on which way it is facing. What You Will Learn & Practice Advanced Theory & Setup: • Finding the Best Angles: Compositional layout for scenery, ruins, and scatter terrain. • Choosing a Light Source: Establishing a consistent focal point and directional lighting. • Two-Tone Priming: Utilizing spray paints to instantly map out highlights and shadows. Core Brush & Painting Techniques: • Multi-Color Dry Brushing: Layering up brightness to create rich, textured stone and weathered surfaces. • Shading and Washes: Pushing contrast and depth into deep stone crevices. • Outlining Recesses: Defining structural lines to make details pop. • Edge-Highlighting: Testing and sharpening your brush control for clean, crisp finishes.
