Miniature Painting - An introduction

Miniature painting is an art and a science. It takes practice to get really good at and there are a lot of tips, tricks and techniques you can use to accelerate your learning curve and that will make your miniatures look great right from the very first one. I have a few different tutorials on this website about miniature painting and I also have quite a few videos and other materials that will help you in this hobby.

The Miniature Painting Tutorials

In this tutorial I take you through all the steps of miniature painting by using this Spartan Warrior. I cover the whole process from cleaning up the mini right through priming and sealing. I also show you how I add textures to the base so it blends in well with a diorama. Nice tutorial if you like to do humanoids. Painting A Spartan Miniature

The Painting Miniature Tutorai of a warhorse This is a very extensive tutorial that is several pages long. It covers tools, lighting and a lot of other things. If you want a good overall tutorial on miniature painting this is where you should start.
