This guy is good. He shows his brush strokes and that really helps us learn the technique.
Thanks for checking out my channel man. I do try and show the actual process as clear as I can, without speeding things up etc
it's sickening how smooth you get the colours...
Thanks man
I think getting your base colours on smoothly is the main thing. Without that you’re fighting a losing battle
Thanks for taking the time to check out my video 👍🏻
Yes indeed that was a very good final model. I liked the way you explained the why's in addition to the how's of what you were doing. As a neophyte painter, that is what makes your videos so useful to me. Good job.
Thank you 🙏🏻
This is one of my favourite projects.
It all came together really nicely.
So glad you found the video useful 👍🏻
Great tutorial! I’m just starting a Blood Angels army so this is perfect for me to follow along with. Was trying to decide between a mephiston red base or contrast blood angels red base, and I think I’m gonna try this method. Thanks for your upload!
Thank you for giving it a watch, great to hear you found it helpful.
Contrast paint is good but if it goes on blotchy it can be difficult to clean up. This method is far easier to correct.
Let me know how you get on
Yeah definately keen to see a decal transfer vid too man! awesome guide and easy to follow, thanks dude.
Thank you, a decal vid is on the list for sure 👍🏻. Thanks for watching and supporting my new channel
I was looking for a style that I like for my Blood Angels and I really love yours. I will try to come close to this.
Thank you.
Please let me know how you get on 👍🏻
Dammit, now I want to start a Blood Angels army... Looks awesome, and love the way you describe each stage.
haha sorry
Blood Angels are a great looking army to be fair
Glad you enjoyed the video though. I have videos on other chapters which may tempt you too ;)
Nice tutorial. Red is bright, got that second edition pop that I love.
Thanks man, appreciate the feedback. Stay tuned for more 👍🏻
After painting gunpla for several years, I've painted a few of Alpha Legion marines, just to see what it's all about, and absolutely fell in love with the WH painting. I'm now painting Blood Angels combat patrol for a friend and I really appreciate your video. Many thanks.
Excellent painting! Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for watching 🙏
Thank you very much for this, I'm probably going to use this method of the red for my new Saim Hann force.
Fantastic, thanks for watching. really glad you found it useful.
Be sure and let me know how you get on
This is a really attractive method for rich red. Also, props for using Army Painter's red tone for your red wash. That particular product is like a secret weapon when it comes to shading red.
thank you
and yeah, I love Army Painter red tone. It's so rich but still manages to keep a punchy red where other brands seem to just turn everything too dark plumb
Hey, nice video really unique and wants me to keep watching, you have my support! , keep up the great work!
Hi, Really appreciate the support. 👍🏻 thank you
Good to see a few people still doing traditional BA colours :) keep it up mate!
Thank you, it’s how I think they should look too 👍🏻
Beautiful work!!!!!! Thx heaps
Great video! Absolutely would like a video on transfers.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. I’ll film the next time I do transfers and make a video for them 👍🏻
Interesting Top Down Primer application. I shall copy this technique. 😁😁😁😁
Dude. I've been trying to get back into the hobby for a while, watching hours and hours of painting/technical videos, and your channel is probably the best i've found, way up there with miniac. You could totally place in golden demon if you put your mind to it. I don't know how you only have 2.34K subs right now but that'll change. Your videos are amazing and I can't wait for more content from you.
Thank you man. I’m still very new to making videos but I have a lot of cool stuff planned. So stay tuned and tell all your friends 👍🏻
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides yeah for sure.
Thank you
Beautiful job and very well done. Thanks for posting this video. If by chance you happen to want to do a White Scar marine, I'd love to see your take on painting one of those! Cheers!
Thank you. I will do a White Scar video in the future for sure but in the meantime I have written a picture guide to painting white marines in the past if it helps?

Nice detail mate, really informative
Thank you, really glad you found it useful. Stay tuned for more
Love the way you do the gems!1
Coming back here, because after reading through some of the current White Dwarf 265 again (literally just now), I just noticed your door-breaching Blood Angel Intercessor on Page 5. You know, the Readers' Models segments. Very cool, mate. Nice one!
Thanks man 🤛🏻
I know this is an older video but I would love to see a video on tranfers. I'm new and the way you explain certain things and slowly show your paint strokes and how to do everything is very informative / helpful.
Thank you, really great to hear you find my style informative and helpful.
I will do a video on applying transfers for sure 👍🏻
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides awesome! Ty for the heads-up. ^_^
Man you only have 2.5k Subs? You deserve more! The presentation is awesome. The video quality is SICK although (just a little nitpick) sometimes the cam loses the focus on the mini fig though so it hurts my eyes. This inspires me to make my own painting video. Not a "How to" or "Tutorial" though. Just "painting" since I am not as good as you yet haha! Keep it up and stay safe!
Thank you, so awesome to hear this is inspiring you to be creative.
I completely agree with you about the video focus, I’m still very new to painting on camera, it’s an area I’m continuing to work on and hope will become more natural with each video.
Beautiful
I like this guy's technique. He uses the same I use. Of course, he's vastly better and more experienced than I. But it's nice to see techniques which looks amazing and doesn't feel apart from what I do.
Thank you sir 🙏🏻
This is exactly the vibe I’m going for with this channel. Simple and effective recipes which I hope people will enjoy painting. Good results don’t need to be complicated
Thanks for checking out my channel, really appreciate it
Awesome. Thank you
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
👍🏻
I want to see a decal transfer video
Thanks, I’ll look at making one for my Fundamentals video series 👍🏻
@@Chris596D check eBay, tons of people are selling spare Indomitus transfers!
WOW that’s great!! Now my blood angels look good
Thanks for watching my video, glad you enjoyed it :)
Hey man! Love your videos. So happy to see you get some much deserved growth on your channel! Keep producing awesome content.
I had a non painting related question: I was wondering if you knew the size of the bit you used to drill out your barrel? Thanks!
Thank you, so glad you’re enjoying the channel.
Um, drill bit size?
I think, I use a 1mm. I use it for everything.
It’s the same size as a paperclip for pinning and attaching to handles and the same size as the holes in the side of the muzzle.
So, what I do, is I drill a 1mm hole for the barrel and usually it’s a bit off-centre. But because it’s a bit smaller than I need I can use my knife blade to increase the size and correct the centring.
Win win 👍
Great tutorial!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Beautiful. I love the lore, especially this faction, but I'm pretty broke, unfortunately. Subbed! When I get older I can get into the hobby. Cant wait.
Thank you, I appreciate the sub. Glad you enjoyed the video and the end result.
Following up to see if you took the plunge!
@@haydenandersen9937 Got the elite edition for Christmas; painted up the Blood Angels :)
can you post a video on describing types of brushes and how to chose the proper one? thanks :)
Love this guide for Blood Angels. Do you have any plans to do some of the other space marine chapters? Like Crimson Fists or Raven Guard?
Thanks man. I did a Crimson Fists picture guide a little while back which you might be interested in - facebook.com/pg/brushstroke.painter/photos/?tab=album&album_id=2229565463951372
and it just so happens I am planning a project soon for some Raven Guard which I hope to make a video on. So stay tuned
LOOKIN' GOOD!
Thank you. Great to hear you liked the result
That is hilariously gorgeous omg.
Thank you 😊
Thanks for the v useful video. Could a black primer be used? Don't have grey spray can at the moment!
Very cool! 👍🏻
Thank you 👍🏻
Another great video
Thank you
This is awesome and very accessible to all levels of painters. Beautifully shot and concise to follow.
Can I ask what size drill bit you use to drill your barrels? Looks perfect!
Thanks for creating.
Thank you, really glad you enjoyed the video.
As for the drill bit, I’ll need to check the measurement and get back to you.
I’ve checked and that barrel was drilled with a 1.2 drill bit. :)
Good video!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. It was a fun little project that one and was really pleased with how it turned out
You can cut down on your gold layers by base coating with 50/50 of gold and black, then go over it with straight gold.
nice work by the way. very inspiring. you should submit your stuff to magazines
Thank you, I really appreciate your support
una clase magistral, un manejo impecable del pincel, como siempre
muchas gracias, muy contento de que lo hayas disfrutado
Did you do another recess shade as it seems to get progressively darker through the video, but im not sure if thats just because you brighten the armour back up after the red tone wash. I love the method though and will be attempting it on my new models.
No, there’s no additional shading added to the armour. It is all down to the brightening layers applied afterwards.
Thanks for watching and please let me know how you get on if you do give it a go 👍
Hi! Love the video, about to start painting my own set of Blood Angels! I was just wondering where did you source your BA transfer sheets? I can't find any! >.
Thank you. The transfers are from a sheet of standard marine markings. I think my local GW store kindly gave me it when I said I was wanting to paint up different chapters. Sorry I can’t be more helpful than that
Just curious where did you get models with the blood angel shoulder pauldron? Ive just started getting into the hobby and i cant find a pack with the blood angels pauldron
How do you manage to attach the shoulder pads to the model without putting it on the arms like this? Defo like to learn how to do this if there is any videos? I'm just started painting and following your blood angel tutorials love them mate, in fact, all your videos are phenomenal! Thanks mate!
Thanks for watching, really glad you’re finding it useful.
With regards the shoulder pads, it’s just down to the specific mini I think. This one had shoulders as part of the body piece.
The arms were pretty much just from the elbows down.
So attaching the shoulder pads was easy as they just went on the shoulders.
No all space marines are like this though, so it’s just a case by case basis.
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Thanks mate!
Depending on the amount of weathering powder, rattle cans or airbrushes could blow some of it around (as has been experienced by yours truly). AK Interactive sells both pigment and 'gravel and sand' fixers which can be applied with a brush - and the gravel and sand works fine for pigments with no impact on the colour or saturation.
You’re absolutely right, when working with bigger deposits of powder, you need to use fixer. In this case though, a simple varnish is sufficient. Perhaps I’ll do a vid on the different uses and applications of weathering powder 🤔
Even in the scale model community I haven’t really seen a video dedicated to that topic by itself, so definitely something I would say people could use.
GWNDad cool, I’ll add it to the list then 👍🏻
Awesome video! Quick question about the paints. You mentioned (and showed) a GW base paint called 'Iron Warriors'. Is this just a rebranding of Leadbelcher? I have never heard of 'Iron Warriors' as a colour before.
Thank you.
No, it’s a new metallic from GW it’s richer and darker than leadbelcher.
You could certainly use leadbelcher instead but I would really recommend you look to pick some up when your leadbelcher runs out because the amount of metallic fleck in the Iron Warriors is so much better.
They also brought out a lighter tone (like ironbreaker) called Iron Hands which is better too
Great vid! What do you cover the marine in before you added the red armour paint?
Thank you.
I primed the model with Vallejo surface primer.
Take a look at this vid, it's my standard preparation process for models
czcams.com/video/KxF8t6k39cE/video.html
10:30 in, it will show you the products I used.
Hope that helps, if not let me now and I'll send you some links :)
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Thank you very much its appreciated
*knock *knock IT'S THE EMPERORS FURY!
I'd like to know more about what the Blood Angels markings mean. They have so much stuff on the transfer sheets, but I don't know how to use any of it correctly...
quality content
My red looks a lot darker than yours I've primed In they grey too but it's still seems a lot darker am I going wrong somewhere? Also the red tone has like a gloss finish to it how did you get yours to not have that ...thanks in advance
BSPG: Each brush stroke is conscious and precise.
Me: Ork smashing base coats on
Haha thanks
I happen to be a big Ork fan, so you keep doing you 👍
Love how it turned out! I might have missed it, but what primer did you use?
Thank you
It was primed with Vallejo surface primer through an airbrush. Firstly in black and then a zenithal of grey.
I have a video which explains my full preparation process which covers it about 10 mins in
czcams.com/video/KxF8t6k39cE/video.html
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Thank you so much!
Would a Carroburg Crimson do a similar effect for the red shading?
I haven't used any other paints other than citadel.
Amazing video by the way, definitely buying some test models to try this out!
Thank you, great to hear it’s inspired you to try it out. So, Carroburg would work but you’ll get a much darker shade. The Army Painter wash I find gives a good shade to the recesses but isn’t too heavy on the the flatter panels
Brushstroke Painting Guides thanks! I’ll get a test model and try it out, if I don’t like the shade I’ll order the one you used :) thanks for the fast reply
Tyler Obront very welcome, let me know how you get on :)
Awesome stuff mate! Can I ask, what do you use to varnish after applying the mud to the feet? Can you use a brush rather than can/airbrush? Ta!
thank you.
I use Testors dullcote spray on matte varnish. You can't really use a brush on varnish over weathering powder because you'll just turn the powder to a paste and smear it all over the place.
Any spray varnish will work though or airbrush of course.
Even spraying lahmian medium through an airbrush over it will be enough to stop it rubbing off
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides of course, sorry it was a daft question re. brushing the varnish! Cheers!
What is it about a smooth, even base coat that feels so satisfying?
Best thing in the world, isn’t it? 👍🏻
Hi there, can I just check please - did you use eshin grey as the base for the chest plate and gun rather than black? It looks great!
Hi, yes the crest on the chest and the gun casing were both based with Eshin Grey, washed with nuln oil shade and highlighted again with Eshin Grey.
Help that helps. 🙂
Great, thanks for replying
@@zainkarim4445 np, let me know how you get on 👍🏻
Nice.
How to make so sharp edge on brush and without drying paint on it?
Thank you. The main thing is to keep your brush moist by rinsing it regularly. Then as you load paint to your brush you should twist the brush to form a sharp point at the tip
awesome, what colour primer did you use?
I used Vallejo surface primer in black and then a zenithal highlight of Vallejo surface primer in grey.
For the full process of my prep I detail it in this video
czcams.com/video/KxF8t6k39cE/video.html
Amazing guide! How much water is usually used to thin paints? I'd seen horror stories about leaving paint unthinned, but for my first models I think I actually wound up thinning them too much and it wound up more like a wash.
Thank you
I actually have a whole video on how to thin
czcams.com/video/sBDVPoNXyVI/video.html
I think this will help you
Oh great! I'll check it out, thanks!
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides
No problem
Let me know if you find it helpful?
Really nice miniature and I like it even more because it’s got that bright shade of red which I’ve notice a lot of people don’t have they have a much darker shade of red. Could you please tell me what colour grey you primed it with?
Thank you. Really glad you enjoyed the video. So, that marine was primed with Vallejo surface primer through an airbrush. Firstly in black and then I did a light zenithal prime with grey.
There Vallejo codes are black - 74.602 and Grey - 74.601
Hope that helps
Brushstroke Painting Guides Thanks for that so I’m guessing with the blend of both colours it made a light shade of grey?
Grant Firth yes, any light grey or white primer will work fine 👍🏻
Brushstroke Painting Guides thanks that’s perfect I’ve always been annoyed about how dark blood angels look but thanks again
What if you like the darker look after the wash and apply the wash after you do the highlights? Any opinions on that?
Absolutely, applying the wash as the last step is a good option for a darker look.
Main downside will be the potential for watermarks but this could be disguised with weathering and battle damage if really bad.
Lastly, washes can leave an annoying glossy finish, so if you’re applying the wash last, I’d recommend hitting it with a good matte varnish to tame any shine 👍🏻
Do you thin your highlight paints (Graphite Darkstar and Wild Rider Red) ?
Yes, they are thinned slightly to make it flow a bit
Are the basic models from the space marines tactical squad the same. And you then paint them depending on which chapter you collect. I understand each chapter has unique models. But I have started with a space marines tactical squad if I want to build an army of blood angels do I just paint them red and if I want ultra marines I paint them blue. Then start to collect their unique characters. Or are the tactical squads individually different. Thanks.
Yes, you can paint them as any chapter you like.
As you say, there are some unique models which are intended for certain chapters, but even they can be converted to be any chapter if you want.
For example, I took the Imperial Fists Tor Garadon model and converted him to be a Minotaurs captain.
czcams.com/video/jE-xixjr-Ro/video.html
So, you can basically do whatever you want 👍
Did you go over the steps for the eyes, I saw the green shade but what do you apply after?
On this model that’s all the eye lenses were. Just a pale grey primer and then the wash. Quick and simple.
A small dot of pure white in the corner to give a glint would be a possible finishing touch if you wanted to add to them. I quite liked the darker muted look against the bright red
Looks amazing... are you still thinking of making that vid on transfers ?
Thank you.
Yes, I was actually thinking about that yesterday.
I'm just editing up a Dark Angels video which will be next and then I think I'll do a quick transfers video
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides awesome sounds good to me 🤙🏽
This is an incredible paint job! What model is this?
Thank you.
It’s just a basic Primaris intercessor.
I think it was one of the first kits to come out.
I’ve had a look on GW site and I can’t seem to see this pose on there anymore, sorry
Tracked it down
It’s from the Dark Imperium boxset
hey I'm about to start painting the blade guard veterans in Blood Angel colors, can all three have golden helmets and is it only the sergeant who has blacked out shoulders? also do you have any ideas of where i can get decals for them or do i have to buy a specific blood angel set, because everything is set up for ultramarines lol from the factory. And on the new bladeguard veterans where the sergeant has his holster on his right hip, i see i pictures, and the older models all of them have the holsters up front, what color do i paint that cross thing hanging on his rear. Please i would appreciate any advice. thank you
Yes, all Blood Angels veterans would have gold helmets.
Black shoulder pads are for sergeants.
I think most of the new Primaris marines sets now come with decal sheets which include Blood Angels.
Your best bet though is to check out eBay.
The Indomitus boxset came with a great transfer sheet which a lot of people have chopped up and are sell the different chapters separately
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184586232214?hash=item2afa326196:g:INUAAOSwU7lf3WFG
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides mine came with ultramarine decals 🙁
What would you recommend as an alternative to the Red Tone if you only have access to Citadel paints?
I’m not a fan of their carroburg crimson for shading red, so I think I would probably go with thinning down one of their contrast paints. Blood angels red is probably your best bet.
They make great washes once you thin them with contrast medium. I’ve even started using the black contrast instead of nuln oil because it gives a better result.
Do a couple of tests first on some scrap pieces and see what dilution works best.
I’d start with 1 part contrast to 2 parts medium as a first test
Thanks!
when did you paint the shoulders black, i thought they were eshin grey? i rewinded the video and i swear i didn't miss that part?
Hi, apologies I paint in the shoulder pads as black at czcams.com/video/hROWL8V4IoU/video.html
which is the point I painted in the knee pad. I decided that they didn't look dark enough as Eshin Grey shaded with Nuln Oil, so just painted them again with Abaddon Black.
Hope that helps
gonna ask if anyone knows a good alternative to darkstar graphite? also would like to also ask about a good varnish for this.
GW’s new Iron Warriors paint would be a good alternative or if you want a lighter tone there Iron Hands from GW too.
Both have great metallic fleck to them.
For matte varnish I use Testors dullcote
When I do the red ink was mine seems really shiny. Am I doing something wrong.
You're not doing anything wrong.
Sometimes washes can result in a shiny finish. You can limit this be really shaking them before use.
If it still happens, don't worry, Just finish the mini as normal and when you're done give the whole model a coat of a matte varnish and it'll dull it back down again.
What varnish did you use at the end?
Not sure if I ended up using a varnish on this, but if I did it would have been Testors Dullcote spray.
You only need a light spray and it protects the paint beautifully
Can you see any downside in skipping the first grey step, applying the mephiston red with an airbrush and then filling in the grey after? Would it be harder to paint the gold areas if they were sprayed red?
No, not at all.
In fact, if you have an airbrush it makes total sense to just blast them with mephiston and then paint in all the other details over the top.
The gold shouldnt be any harder to paint over red. Just keep your layers nice and thin and build them up to a solid covering
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides thanks for the reply mate 👌
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides thanks for the reply mate 👌
I like to use a deeper, more crimson red.
Do you do anything specific with your Mephiston red? Trying to follow along, but mine is so dark it looks nothing like the basecoat you get.
No, it’s just standard mesphiston, thinned with a little water over a pale primer.
Are you applying it over a black primer at all?
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Thanks for the reply! I'm applying it over corax white spray from games workshop. Maybe I apply the paint to thickly or maybe you have some fancy hobby light, which helps make the colours look more vibrant on the video? I'll try to finish the model anyway, and see how it turns out. Amazing work by the way.
Hmmm that’s odd then. White would make for the brightest finish.
Lamp wise, back then I was using a basic desk lamp with a daylight bulb. If anything, a daylight bulb should give a truer colour as it’s far less yellow than standard bulbs.
In person the mini does looks like the bright red in the video.
This is from a few years ago now, so there is the horrible chance GW have changed their recipe 😕
Thanks for checking out my channel though. Sorry it’s not giving the right result.
One option to make it brighter would be to try a 50:50 mephiston : wild rider red mix.
I’m going to buy a new pot of mephiston at the weekend now and see if it’s different
I would love to do this but how much would just the stuff in the description cost? Probably a lot right?
The main colours to paint the armour probably cost around £10 . For the rest it’s another £20-30 I’d say, but then you’d have enough paint to do squads of Blood Angels
Do you thin the metallic paints when using them?
Yes, a little bit. I add a touch of water to all the paints to make them apply smoothly to the model.
I would like to see This done With a
Grey armour colour
@blackstar2356 I did do a guide to painting grey armour on my Facebook or insta pages if that helps?

love the breakup music in the background 😢
Haha thanks, it was meant to be more relaxing than sad breakup 🙂
hey i see you painted in the shoulder pads black, is black not reserved for sergeants?
Yes, black pauldrons signify sergeants.
I painted this one as a sergeant just as an example. For rank and file, just paint the pauldrons red the same as the armour
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides i like the red and gold scheme i apparently they're called Blood Drinkers chapter. Would you know where i could score decals/transfer sheets for them? In general Blood Angels decals are hard to come by but theirs an abundance of ultramarine. i haven't really started building an army yet but im thinking of going ultramarine for ease of compatibility plus i like the gold. It makes the models look rich. I don't game i just like the models and how they look so i dont care about how many rolls or how many hits a model can take lol. No time for that.
I think your best bet will be to search eBay for the indomitus transfer sheet. That came with a lot of different chapter transfers. Blood Angels was on there for sure.
The Raven Guard primaris upgrade kit I got came with a sheet of transfers, so you could see if the Blood Angels one does too
I never like how my washes seem to ruin the smoothness of the paint. Wouldn't it make more sense to just add the washes to the recesses instead of the entire surface?
You can certainly do a recess wash if you prefer. The reason I do it this way is I get to choose where the shadows start and end. Recess shading tends to give strong lines of shadow, which can be great for some circumstances but not all.
This way I can have a soft blend up to the recess if I like or the harsh line of just the recess. It’s all about options
What do you use for a primer?
I use Vallejo surface primers. Full details here czcams.com/video/KxF8t6k39cE/video.html
Why the soulder pad is black trimmed red? Shouldn't be red trimmed black for a causal marine? Beautiful paintjob anyway
This guy is obviously a sarge, because of the black pauldrons ❤️
what are you using to hold the models?
I use corks with some small wire glued in them.
I explain my process in this vid :)

Could I convert this on to the Mcfarlane Toys 7" version?
Or is that HERESY!
Absolutely! Go for it, should look great 👍🏻 are the McFarlane toys available now?
They're up for preorder but will be released in October
What brushes do you recommend for all the detail work?
I’m a fan of Winsor & Newton series 7 brushes.
Brushstroke Painting Guides thank you I’ve been following your guide as closely as I can I still can’t believe how great your results are 😩👌🏻 lol
Thanks man, the secret really is just keeping the layers smooth and neat
What primer did you use ?
I used Vallejo surface primer.
First black and then a zenithal of grey
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides thank you so much ❤️
Is there any gw paint i can use in place of graphite by dark star? im trying to keep my paints to only gw colors
I would go with either Iron hands steel or ironbreaker then 🙂
Brushstroke Painting Guides Another question, and I’m new to painting minis, what primer did you use? Is it just a normal grey primer?
I use Vallejo primers. This video explains my whole process

Brushstroke Painting Guides thank you again :))

Your mephiston red is so much lighter than mine, you didnt mix it with anything?
No, this was just Mephiston straight from the pot
So, how did you make the base on that one? XD
Here you go

My mephiston red doesn't look nearly as bright as yours. How is that possible?
Colours are darker if you use a black primer.
I used Vallejo grey primer for this, so that could be why my result was brighter.
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides thanks
Damn I miss painting
Why not start up again? 👍🏻
Brushstroke Painting Guides my time is sadly taken up to much with work and my kids, dw already decided when my boy is a little older I’m getting back into it and teaching him 😎
Some Mistakes yeah, I know what you mean about time. I have to paint when my family is asleep 🤣
Great idea about getting your son involved though, it’s a great way to get them into something creative
