FAQ
Start with a pointed round brush for general painting, a fine-detail brush, a palette, a water container, and good task lighting. You'll also need paint and primer suited to your miniature's material. A drybrush can help with raised textures, while a painting handle lets you hold the model without touching painted areas.
Match the brush to the task. A medium pointed round brush works well for base coats and layering, a fine-tip brush helps with eyes and trim, and a dedicated drybrush is useful for textured surfaces. Brush sizes vary by brand, so compare the tip shape and bristle dimensions rather than relying on the size number alone.
A wet palette is optional, but it can help keep compatible water-based acrylic paints workable while you blend colours or paint several models. It uses a damp sponge and palette paper to slow drying. Follow your paint manufacturer's guidance, and use a separate suitable palette for solvent-based paints, washes, or products that should not be diluted through a wet palette.
Look for adjustable positioning, useful brightness settings, and enough space beneath the lens to move your brush comfortably. Check the lens size and working distance as well as magnification. A clamp-mounted lamp can free up desk space, while a freestanding model needs a stable base.
No. You can paint complete miniatures with standard brushes. An airbrush can be useful for broad base coats and smooth colour transitions, but it adds equipment, cleaning, and ventilation requirements. Beginners can start with brushes and add an airbrush later if it suits their projects.
Clean brushes before paint dries in the bristles, using water or the cleaner specified for your paint. Keep paint away from the metal ferrule, gently reshape the tip after cleaning, and let brushes dry flat. Avoid leaving them standing bristle-down in a rinse container.
