Sometimes you just need to treat yourself! Fabulous set of brushes from Artis Opus.

It has been so long since I've gotten some actual painting done. I am grateful that among all the other wonderful things in my life the past couple days, I got an opportunity to put some painting work in during today's Lord of the Rings Marathon.

This was the first time using my new brush set from #artisopus and I was very impressed with the quality of the single #5 brush that I used today for this whole model. I really feel like I've hit a bit of a plateau (in an exciting way!) And this model feels like a perfect way to cap off the level I've been at for a while, and seek out something new to learn. My brush control has really improved, I'm pleased with the fine lines and color choices...

Next up I think I'm going to invest some time in learning how to do cool effects!

Tried out #monumenthobbies Newsh weathering medium on my mechs. I was looking to get dark between panels. I used army painter Matt Black at about a 1-4 ratio. Layered it on, then took it off. I agree with #artisopus that the best way to remove is your finger, but I did also use makeup sponges for tight spots. The Newsh did remove some paint, particularly the metallic. Next time I guess I’ll try varnishing first. I like the effect it gives and the versatility. #battletech #miniaturepainting
