Hello everyone,
As I get back into the addictive miniature painting hobby. I am working on advancing my skills from the styles of 7 years ago.
One skill I am playing around with is painting white as one of the main focuses. Whether it is to be white armor, the cloak of a white knight, or a creature from space, hell, or the beyond. If any of you have some tips to achieve a nice looking white paint job, I am all ears (well I should say eyes, lol)
I can't promise people will be able to post to this blog, but if you send me a message I can keep a helpful tips list below. Remember, I am only asking you to share tips and hints. If it is a secret for winning all competitions, I am not asking for secrets.
Some helpful tips and hints that I have picked up along the way:
- White is brighter with a faint blue tint
- Multiple thin layers of white to achieve smoothness
- White is not really white, it is a very light grey and the white is just the final highlight.
