In the world of miniature painting tutorials, I have written several ones before, even about how to paint dollhouse furniture with milk paint.
But today, I am going to review a miniature painting tutorial by Domestika, as this is until today, one of my favorite routes to learning everything about miniatures.
While this time the tutorial takes us more into the world of small figurines like Warhammer, it can really teach us something extra about painting small things, in my opinion 😉
So again, I got this course myself, and while I can't write down everything mentioned in this course (that would be way too long), I can get a very good idea of what this course includes and if the quality is high, etc.
So let's go!

But first: why paint miniatures?
Well, painting miniatures of all kinds is just a fun and rewarding hobby for not just tabletop gamers, but also collectors or people who just enjoy painting and want to improve their artistic skills.
Here are a few reasons why painting miniatures has become quite popular:
- Customizing and personalization:
By painting your miniatures, you can create something unique and make it your own work, choosing your own colors and details. - Explore different techniques:
Doing the paintwork yourself makes you able to experiment with different techniques like I explained the milk painting technique recently. - A form of relaxation and even meditation:
I don't know about you, but when I am painting something, I am totally focussed on the project that I am working on and it totally relaxes me 😉 - Socializing:
Many people enjoy sharing their finished work, online or in communities, especially for tabletop games like Warhammer, where the competition factor also plays a role.
Let's go ahead and look step into the world of miniature painting tutorials.
Who Is The Teacher in this online miniature painting tutorial?
Angel Giraldez is a professional miniature painter and he is the teacher of this Domestika course.
When first starting out as a professional painter it was very hard to make a living from it, as miniature painting wasn't very well known yet.
But he made it through and is now working with companies like Games Workshop, CoolMiniOrNot, Mantic Games, and more.
He also published several books on miniature painting, which at the time were very hard to get published.
You can find Angel Giraldez on:

During the course, he will also take you through all of the people that influenced his work, like Games Workshop, the Games Magazine White Dwarf, Mike McVey, and more.
