Here is a condensed version:...

This is the first of two versions painted on stream for Lazy Squire Games... the Lady Renata in Angelic form!

I painted the same figure later in the week on stream, with a very different color...

Thanks for watching! The latest Saturday challenge was really wild, because I was painting a dozen Minas tirith Warriors in TMM... in oils!!

They certainly do! That looks great!

The key to oils is less paint. Practically a drybrush. I show this very often on the live sessions and vids. Less is more, and more is way too much ;-)

I don't have any of those minis, but I did just do a 10 hour stream on the Twitch channel where I painted 15 Moria goblins in OSL!

Here's a link to that session:...

Thanks so much!

I had a blast painting the Herdstone on stream, and the oils were incredibly helpful in achieving all the effects that I wanted in rapid succession as always!

You can watch a condensed version...

I am hoping that it does make painting more relaxed, more fun, etc. It certainly has for me, no mater what size or type the figure is. So enjoyable!!!!!
