Miniature Painting Class with Zack: Advanced Techniques

Edge Highlighting vs. Drybrushing: Two Paths to Great Detail

Sharp or subtle? Clean or weathered? In this hands-on miniature painting workshop, you'll explore two of the most essential techniques for bringing your models to life: edge highlighting and drybrushing.

Learn when to use crisp edge highlights for clean, defined surfaces and how drybrushing can quickly create texture, depth, and worn effects. By comparing these techniques side by side, you'll gain a better understanding of their strengths and how to choose the right approach for different miniatures and painting styles.

Whether you're looking to improve your tabletop army or refine your painting skills, this class will give you practical techniques you can apply to every project.

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