Miniature Painting for Beginners Series

Currently Playing: Flat vs Volumetric Painting with Miniatures

Check out our Patreon for exclusive content and to support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/wrathofminis This week we're discussing two foundational ways to paint miniatures: flat vs volumetric styles. This will be more theory than demonstration but we believe it's important to understand what you're trying to achieve and the concepts behind these styles before even picking up the brush, though in later videos will talk more about how to achieve these styles, and particularly volumetric. This is from our Beginner Series on Miniature Painting -- Video chapters provided so feel free to skip around to the sections that are most relevant to you. ============================= GEAR I LIKE / USE: This video was not paid for by outside persons or manufacturers and no gear was supplied to us for this video.
