Lately I have dedicated myself to single projects. This has proved benificial and I gaze with pride upon my completed Troops, Weapons and Tactics platoon. In the past, when I broke projects into batches, I would switch projects between batches. This had it’s advantages, one of which was that it gave me a lot of variety for my blog.
One week would be Starship Troopers, the next Native Americans. A bit of Heavy Gear and then a break with some Inter-war British. It took forever for any single project to be completed, but it was more interesting then blogging about the 20th WWII Canadian I’d painted.
So, in order to switch things up and make this blog more interesting I’ve set myself the goal to write some theory articles on the subject of painting theory. This is everything I’ve learnt and read related with as much detail as I can muster.
If you’re here, reading this, it is likely that you’ve also read all the other tutorials available. The difference is the amount of detail I plan to cover. I will not only explain what I do, but also why I do it. This way, no-one is following steps by rote without understanding why they’re doing each step, and why they aren’t getting the results they expect.
Here are the subject I expect to cover. They will not necessarily be in order or complete. I will add these categories as children to the main Painting Theory category once I have added a post that falls under that category.
- Tools
- Preparation
- Colour Theory
- Applying Paint
- Washing
- Glazing
- Highlight Theory

- Basing
