This week we are joined by miniature painting legend: Richard Gray! In this thought provoking episode, Richard shares his thoughts on balancing speed with quality when it comes to miniature painting, the struggle of making online content as a slower painter, getting maximum enjoyment from the hobby, lessons from competition painting, how you can learn to paint faster (by actually painting slower) and much more! Also in this episode, George and James experience the hot seat in a reverse critique clinic, where Richard gives them hands on feedback on how they can improve their miniatures! And of course don't forget to stay to the end of the show for Hobby Hacks, where our guest shares a DIY solution for painting magnifiers! COMMISSIONS ➡️ https://shorturl.at/xBKW8ONYX PAINTING LAMP ➡️ https://shorturl.at/ryBEGPATREON ➡️ https://shorturl.at/tCIKU See more of Richard's content: https://richardgraycreations.comhttps://www.patreon.com/RichardGray0:00:21 Richard Gray joins us! 0:05:39 The first Slayer Sword 0:08:39 Getting into painting 0:11:21 Becoming a professional painter  0:15:37 juggling multiple projects 0:18:02 Non Metallic Metal (NMM)0:23:52 Painting for enjoyment 0:30:18 Richard's gaming army  0:32:54 Balancing speed and quality 0:38:40 Learning to paint faster 0:44:37 Richard critiques our models! 0:58:10 Critiquing your own models 1:02:53 Starting light or dark?1:05:44 Hobby Hacks1:09:02 Outro Support the Show.Paint Perspective is a miniature painting podcast brought to you by Siege Studios, featuring James Otero (Siege founder & CEO), Joe Hart (Siege Ops Manager) and George Coleman (Siege Content Creator & Commission Painter).
