    124: UPGRADE your painting with DECEPTION

    In episode 124 of Paint Perspective, James and Paul turn their attention to the outside world, and how just slowing down and appreciating your surroundings can help you vastly improve your mini painting, from shading to inspiration for an army theme. From taking photos of a pipe under a sink in a restaurant to the natural world, James and Paul discuss how this has helped them with their painting over the years and why their camera rolls are full of random items and objects.  PAINTING JOURNAL ➡️ https://shorturl.at/fFZQP CUSTOM SERVICE ➡️ https://shorturl.at/kGH79 FREE PDF TUTORIAL ➡️ https://shorturl.at/Ovdy4 LISTEN ON THE GO ➡️ https://pod.link/1690786293 DISCORD ➡️ https://shorturl.at/bwM68 PATREON ➡️ https://www.patreon.com/siegestudios MERCH ➡️ https://shorturl.at/GOTkW CUSTOM SERVICE ➡️ https://shorturl.at/kGH79 FREE PDF TUTORIAL ➡️ https://shorturl.at/Ovdy4 Timestamps: 00:00:00 - Coming up 00:00:35 - Monday Morning Chat 00:05:27 - Announcement 00:05:52 - White Dwarf Giveaway 00:06:53 - Painting with Deception 01:16:49 - Outro/Aftershow 》UK 15-25% off Warhammer Element Games: http://bit.ly/2ltN9KV 》For Double Crystals Use Code 'SIE193' at checkout! 》EU 15-20% off Warhammer https://taschengelddieb.de/?SiSt=aff XW9D4M7J9BD2J9NG Support the show Paint Perspective is a miniature painting podcast brought to you by Siege Studios, featuring James Otero (Siege founder & CEO) & Paul Kidd (Studio office team member).
