Those of you that haven’t blotted out my poorly written ramblings with copious amounts of single malt (if you have good taste) or binge drinking white lightning or some other cheap alcoholic beverage (if you don’t), will remember the other day that I bought some more paints and primer ( I also had a couple of Zombicide paint kits ordered). I don’t think I mentioned that the other day I used the primer in anger on a halfling wizard.
This morning I was feeling guilty for doing absolutely nothing yesterday. So I set up a painting station (that sounds like I know what I’m doing) in my living room in front of the tv this morning.
Using my none existent painting skills I’ve applied my base colours to the mini.
The paint might be too diluted. And almost a wash (ooh another technical term) , as the staff shows.
But as a first attempt I’m happy with the way it’s looking. Painting with the magnifier to see what I’m doing is taking some getting used to.
Just need to let this dry before trying to get the motivation to do the next coat/touches.
Yeah, your paint is too thin.
But, this a good thing!
You can always add more paint. You can’t easily remove it.
The consistency to aim for, when doing base coats, is something like skimmed milk.
Oh, and I should add – the consistency you have there is good for shading – and for highlights you wants something between the two.
Thanks for the advice
