Hi everyone!!! This is a bit different than my usual format! I'm trying a series of shorter videos rather than one long one, in an attempt to post more frequent content over the next few weeks! Lemme know what you think!

Why would you throw a fail painted model away??? There is always stripping the paint off the model and starting again, I do that all the time. "Totally Awesome" is my goto stripping solution its cheap, you can get it at Dollar Tree Stores

You are an extremely interesting and talented lady, easy to listen to and wise beyond your years! Your ideas, colour schemes and painting are always exceptional and inspiring. As far as formats are concerned, I prefer longer version as I like listening and watching whilst I am painting and hate having to keep finding something else to watch - not easy after watching your channel! Keep on painting.

I used to paint miniatures years ago. I was taught "Old School" techniques like layering and using textures sponges. I think your technique would have put my miniatures beyond premo! I have been creating my own miniatures in polymer and will start practicing these techniques. I LOVE your videos because you actually instruct in a very clear and entertaining way. It's like having a friend show me something. I look forward to your future videos!

Explaining how much you're using references, you end up really creative. It's weird, you're brutaly honest about imitation and reusing other people's work... And in the end the process is way more creative than raw and random thoughts about color schemes. I personnaly admire this kind of intellectual honnesty.

Hi Dana. I really enjoy when you post new videos. I find you and your ideas very inspiring. This shorter format is great. But don´t forget the longer videos. Your videos on the Iron Golems was what got me in to model painting. As a total noob, the videos about glazing and zenithal has inspired me a lot, and with some awsome beginner models to show for it.

This is great advice, since the color wheel can "alone" make us rely too much on convention. I teach color theory and tell my students that most of what we do that makes sense to us is intuitive and ends up being right with the wheel anyway! It's especially important because colors like (very bright) Magenta and Cyan don't even show up in some more "traditional" wheels. Cheers

To to a thing for the purpose of showing off (for some people) is also a matter of learning or working on the skills needed. The funnest thing is thinking "I do X well. X would look good on this mini. I've never done X on that type of mini before." Yeppers, and you got that right about use. The Arm's Reach Law (especially with 3d printed stuff) if it's for tabletop use. Do your best possible work but don't get discouraged when it doesn't look good 2 inches in front of your face. It's meant to be viewed a few feet away on the table.... .... you don't put your nose on the canvas when looking at a vanGogh, you admire it from a few steps past it being in your complete field of vision. And inspiration! Never be afraid to try something new. It mughy suck or it might be awesome. You have to take the risk in order to learn, and learning is what makes us better.

I paint for relaxation and fun, it helps me focus away from my disabilities. tend not to do the box are I use my imagination. I think of a story and what happens and I paint that from my head. for example I decided to do a Hierarchy especially with shaman and fanatics. I don't really know much about the figures because I don't play the games but I read up about night goblins and discovered they were into Toadstools etc so I basically went on line and looked up different species of fungi and mushrooms there where some great colours I chose a few different ones and painted my night Goblins. They looked great and because they were an army ( for my son who does play these games) it took away the tedium of painting an army I had a lot of fun and my son and his friends loved them,
