58: Why is EVERYONE painting Grimdark?!

Paint Perspective - Miniature Painting Podcast

07/11/24 • 77 min

The 'Grimdark' painting style is incredibly popular in Warhammer currently, but is it really the best way to paint? Is it just another fad? In this episode, we discuss the origins of the style and how it has changed over the years, our experience with it, and debunk some of the stigma around the gritty aesthetic and its affiliation with speed painting...
Also in this episode, we talk more about the 'pile of potential', hoarding paints, hobby contraptions and the dreaded drawer of doom! And as always, don't forget to stay to the end for our parting hobby hack!

49: Painting FUNDAMENTALS, how not to ruin your model and... potatoes?

Paint Perspective - Miniature Painting Podcast

05/09/24 • 88 min

The fundamentals of painting are important, but they can be boring. Though, important as they are, is it possible you can surpass them a little too soon?
In this thought provoking episode, we discuss the merit of painting neatly vs detailed and if doing less, (well) can actually get you better results...
Also in this episode, we discuss the relatable topic of painting fear, and how to overcome the thoughts that you might ‘ruin’ your models.
Plus, stay tuned for our hobby hacks and the usual banter you expect, including some nonsense about painting with potatoes, and the aftermath of our premier Paint Perspective Drill Off!
