    If you want this vibe look up Goobertown Hobbies. They’re the most chill and wholesone mini painting tutorials I’ve found

        To see if you like the process but don’t want to spend a ton of money:

        • $5-8: Dollar acrylic paints at a craft store. Get primary colors, black, and white
        • $2-5: Any brush set that has at least a pointy brush and a fuzzy looking brush
        • $5-10: Either a single mini like a DnD character mini, or to see if you like army painting get a bag of green army men

        And you’re good to go! Thin the acrylics with water, abuse your cheap brushes, learn dry brushing, and attempt to make and use a wash (basically just very thin paint sometimes with a tiny amount of soap). If you want to get fancy with bases grab some dirt, rocks, and twigs from outside then stick them on with thinned down white craft glue.

        It’s mostly learning tricks. The very high end stuff takes great skill, but you can get good results by just knowing enough to water down your paint and do some drybrushing.

    Wow, bob ross really missed his calling: how did he die without sharing that hand care secret? His hands look 20 years old.
