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!
