Painting Challenge - Monochrome Madness

Painting Challenge - Monochrome Madness

Dan Kelly

Brief: Paint a miniature using only shades of one colour. This challenge will help you master shading and highlighting techniques.

Step-by-Step:

  1. Prime your model: Start with a neutral grey primer to balance the tones.
  2. Basecoat: Apply a mid-tone version of your chosen colour all over the model.
  3. Shade: Use a darker shade of the same colour to paint the recesses and deeper areas.
  4. Highlight: Mix a small amount of white to your base colour for highlights, applying it to raised areas.
  5. Fine Details: Use the lightest shade for the most prominent edges and fine details to add contrast.

 

We recommend using one of our Ghast Models for this challenge as they will benefit hugely from the dramatic atmosphere that the monochrome paint job will bring.  You can get the Ghast HERE
