Miniature Painting Techniques

Miniature painting involves applying fine, precise brushwork to small-scale artworks, often used for models or collectibles. Techniques include layering thin, diluted paints to build depth, highlighting details with fine brushes, and shading to create realism. Artists use steady hands and magnification tools for accuracy. Common methods include glazing (transparent layers), dry brushing (lightly brushing to highlight textures), and blending colors smoothly. Preparation involves priming the surface and gradual color application. The goal is to achieve intricate, realistic detail on a tiny canvas, requiring patience, steady skill, and attention to minute details.
