Experiment with Different Materials

Take the risk out of painting, by testing first! Not all paints, primers, and mediums behave the same. Test them first on a texture palette matched to the material and theme of your project! Whether you’re working with acrylics, oils, inks, or pigments, these palettes let you see how different materials interact with surfaces before applying them to your miniatures or terrain. Avoid surprises, refine your approach, and achieve the best possible results with every project!
