How do I get started painting?

July 30th, 2011 12:05 am

Get some paint, brushes, miniatures, and a space to do your work. There is no `secret formula’ involved, and despite all the advice and information you’ll get from this FAQ and other sources, the best method of painting is the one that works for you. If you prefer one type of paint to another, that’s great. Painting is a hobby, not an exact science. Pick and choose, practice, relax, and enjoy yourself. Take advice only if you feel right about it. Be patient with yourself. Most painters have a box of the stuff they learned on, or have removed old paint and redone several of their miniatures. Good painting’s a skill. Remember: PRACTICE. Try different materials and techniques. Don’t take anyone else’s word for it unless you’re sure – and the practice will do you good.
