How to use Contrast Paint: Mastering Essential Miniature Painting Skills Part 2 - Transparent Paint

Painting transparent colour on your minis is the next step of slapchop painting. In my previous video, I demonstrated my technique for building volumes of light through drybrushing, employing a method known as underpainting. Now, in the second instalment of this series, I delve into the next crucial step: Painting with transparent paints. Mastering the use of transparent paints, such as Games Workshop's Contrast paint or Army Painter's Speedpaint, is essential for bringing your Warhammer miniatures to life on the tabletop.

In this miniature painting tutorial, I emphasize utilizing the underpainting as a guide, achieving the correct paint consistency, and employing transparent paints as glazes. Showing you how to paint miniatures with transparent paint. By mastering these fundamental principles, you'll be well-equipped to hone your miniature painting skills. Moreover, this approach adds an enjoyable touch to completing your Slapchop minis and prepares them for battle. Surprisingly, despite the additional steps involved in the underpainting stage, reaching this point remains remarkably efficient, allowing you to dive into gameplay even sooner. Painting Warhammer for the tabletop has never been so enjoyable!
