Once again I stuck with freehand painting. Here is the dilemma. When you free paint on minies whatever you do amount to small detail, right? So the size and the quality of brush tip are really important. Now, If you take very small brush, say 000 or even smaller the amount of paint it can hold is very small so it dries very fast. If you take a bigger brush the tip isn’t fine enough. So, I settled for long kolinsky liners.

There were about 45 entries (120 last year) with only 1 of them that came from outside an immediate store service area. Unfortunately I didn’t have a camera with me so I don’t have pictures. I might try to visit the place once more though if I have time. ...
