This Spotted Pardalote tutorial was all about painting on a small scale, so I've collated 16 of my best tips for small scale painting into this KZfaq video. I hope you find them useful and adaptable for any miniature painting, but if you would like to paint the whole bird, head to Patreon for the real time tutorial.
If you would like to learn more about painting birds, this would be a good video to watch next: bit.ly/3eR48CP

Thank you so much! Due to space limitations, I always have to work small. It has been a real challenge getting similar results to the larger-scale tutorials most typically presented (by just about everyone on YT it seems🤣). This video with your small-scale tips is immensely helpful. Thank you for posting!
