Don't mix the paint and thinner in the dropper bottles. Do that in something like a disposable plastic container, and add a little thinner at a time, since each paint has a very different consistency

Thanks!! These were so much fun!!

I know this is not a miniature, but I painted a few landscapes of Middle Earth on stream a few weeks ago to show how the process of painting with oils on figs is pretty much the same as what I would...
