Miniature Painting Resources
Resources and tools for miniature painters, sculptors, and hobbyists.
In this section, I’ll share resources and tools that make miniature painting easier. These are different from my articles and tutorials. They’re useful resources you can bookmark and check whenever you need specific details. I create them using my experience as a miniature painter and sculptor. I aim here to build the kind of useful collection I wish I’d had during my own painting journey.
Read full introduction
Miniature painting might seem simple at first, but there’s much more to it than just putting paint on a model. Over time, we pick up a lot of knowledge about paints, materials, tools, competitions, techniques, and terms. The problem is, this information is often spread out across articles, videos, social media, forums, and manufacturers’ websites.
I made this section to gather some of that information in one place, so it’s practical and easy to find when you need it.
Some of these resources are helpful while you’re working on a miniature. Others can help you plan a project, pick materials, learn new terms, or find painting competitions and events.
- miniature painting competition calendars
- painting and sculpting reference guides
- miniature painting terminology and glossaries
- practical information for miniature painters and sculptors.
Some resources will be quick reference pages, while others might turn into bigger guides or tools. I’ll keep updating them as I learn more and as new information comes out.
I’ve been painting miniatures for over 20 years, along with working as a digital sculptor. If you’d like, you can see my painted work and competition pieces on my Putty&Paint profile.
