Miniature Painting Class with Zack: Advanced Techniques

Mastering Directional Priming for Miniature Painting

Take your miniature painting to the next level by learning how directional priming creates a roadmap for light before you ever pick up a brush. In this hands-on class, you'll discover how strategic highlights and shadows established during priming improve contrast, speed up your painting process, and make every layer of paint more impactful.

Working from start to finish, you'll learn an efficient workflow that takes a single miniature from prep and priming all the way to a table-ready finish. Whether you're new to miniature painting or looking to paint faster without sacrificing quality, this class will give you practical techniques you can use on every project.

Class Fee: $30
What's Included: One miniature to take home, plus all paints, brushes, and supplies needed during the class.
