Layering – what is it and how to do it on a miniature

Learn the layering technique and see how to build light, depth, and smooth color transitions on your miniatures step by step! In this tutorial, I explain layering in miniature painting and how to apply thin layers of paint for a clean, professional result.

You'll learn how to control paint opacity, where to apply subsequent layers, and how to gradually lighten colors without harsh transitions. This is one of the fundamental techniques used in painting miniatures for games like Star Wars Legion, Warhammer 40K, and Bolt Action. It's ideal for both beginners and those looking to improve the quality of their models.
