Like the title says, I’ve been painting figures with cheap dollar store craft paints (and a few other cheap materials) rather than “proper” hobby paints. Gauging if there is interest among people who might want to try mini painting but are intimidated by price or the idea of complexity.
These minis were printed on a lower quality printer, then primed with some kind of mystery spray paint during bad weather, then given to me. So this would be a guide in making tabletop standard baseline minis, and people following it would probably have better results than me but I’d do a starter guide if there is enough interest for me to take pictures and notes.
This is really cool! I think showing how you’ve been able to achieve these results with non-mini paints would be really interesting to discover! I’m also always looking for tips and I need as much as I can get.
I have very slowly getting into mini painting. I was gifted a bunch of reaper paints and bought a few more to round out the color spectrum! I’m as artistic as a brick and have zero skill so I’m trying to approach it technically. I have too much going on so I haven’t done much painting in a while but I keep coming back to it.
