Improving Your Painting Skills

The article relates to anything you want to paint, not just Infinity; the best process is to "just do it".
Staying on the same topic of improving your current painting skills, and highlighting another blog post by Tangible Day, this time, referring to 'paint blending' techniques for miniatures.

This blog post is full of fantastic blending techniques which you could use to get the most out of your Infinity miniatures.
Of course, with all painting techniques, there is never just a simple answer as to which technique is the best to use. There are always going to be advantages and disadvantages to each painting technique; however, with this article as your guide, you may find answers to questions you've been asking!
