Miniature Painting Tutorials

You can buy my painting tutorials here.

I’ve been painting miniatures for a very long time now. (I’d rather not say exactly how long, but let’s just say I didn’t start in this century…) I’ve always been inspired by super smooth paint jobs with bright colours and high contrast and I’ve spent countless hours working out how best to capture this aesthetic.

The good news is that you can now benefit from all this experience without all the frustrating trial and error! In my painting guides I describe in detail the techniques that I use to achieve my trademark smoothness, and break down each step of the painting process with high resolution photos and paint recipes. If you’re familiar with the old style Eavy Metal masterclasses published in White Dwarf then my tutorials are quite similar!

In the guides I use very little airbrushing (usually just using it to lay down a base coat), and I mostly use Citadel paints (where I deviate from this line I do try to suggest a Citadel alternative).

I’ve tried my absolute best to make every aspect of my approach to miniature painting as clear as possible, but I’m always open to suggestions on how I can improve. Or if you don’t quite understand something then just contact me and I’ll try to explain it more clearly!

If you paint something using techniques that you’ve picked up from my tutorials then I’d love you to tag me on social media! It’s always awesome to see people finding the guides useful!

  1. I like the route you’ve chosen. I’m always hesitant to subscribe to Patreon channels because of the monthly commitment and unknown quality/quantity of future content. However, I love the idea of being able to buy just what I want. Good luck!

  2. Great tutorial. Thank you for making it. You take what seem like such complicated techniques and explain them very well. I’d love to see (and would pay) for a video of you demonstrating some of your techniques. I was also hoping for a step by step on the skull but I think you explained it well even without pictures.

    At the top of my wishlist for future tutorials would be faces and skin tones.

  3. Bougth right now. Excellent tutorial. Totally recommend it… I only wish you could add pics of your different “standard” levels of dillution as a help guide for us…. for example, a pic of your pallette`s colour dillution when highlighting, when cleaning by glazes, It would be a really helpful addition and it would not cost you much time or effort. Thanks a lot for your fantastic job¡¡¡

  4. Nice¡¡¡ I bought the second tutorial too..top job again¡ can’t wait for the next one¡¡¡ (dilution pics should not be in each stage…I mean..we could see the different levels of dilution in any stage, or in different ones. One pic should be enough of every level…glazing, highlight, …)

  5. Dear Gareth,

    I’ve bought your BA Chaplain and Yvraine masterclasses, and they are a blast! I’ve been longing for high-level tutorials that can push my own work even further, and yours truly are of that high level I seek for inspiration, tips and techniques. Please continue your work with the masterclasses!

  6. Hello Mr Gareth, I need to ask you a single question before buying : the paintjob in the tutorial are made with an airbrush or a classic paintbrush ? Or is it a mix ?
    Your work is fabulous !
