As you all know, I have been a HUGE fan of any sort of painting tutorial sites or instruction I can get my hands on. And then over the past year or so, a couple different DVD painting tutorials came out and I was over the moon. This comprehensive 3 DVD set from Laszlo has over 8 hours of instructional video on it. It is the most complete DVD I have come across to date and has been in my personal collection since last Gen Con Indy. I have been referring people over to the Hot Lead site and it dawned on me that I should start stocking items like this for people that want to save money on shipping so they can order something like this up with their Dark Sword order and get it all in one shot.
So here you have it folks - you can now pick this up in our Online Store for a bargain price of $39.99.
This is an amazing 3 DVD set that is bursting at the seams with over 8 hours of footage. This equates to less than $5.00 per hour of instruction from a very highly regarded award-winning painter.
Format:
•DVD-Video
•NTSC (international customers can play on a PC or NTSC/PAL DVD player)

My instructional mini painting 3-DVD set is aimed at both the beginning and the experienced painter.
I've been active in the online painting community since the beginning. Over and over again I heard painters asking for painting videos. "If only I could see someone do it close up..." You can teach someone how to paint in a classroom setting, but it's never the same as seeing the miniature from the teacher's perspective and watching their techniques in action.
My DVDs address this. In over 8 hours of footage, I go through the entire painting process, using over 30 different example miniatures: from selecting, prepping, painting and finally varnishing a miniature. Along the way I'll share the tricks and tips learned through my years as an award-winning painter. By the time you finish the set, you will truly know how to paint a better miniature!
That's not to say advanced painters won't benefit from these techniques. The DVDs are designed to continue the lessons learned on the Basic DVD into two Advanced DVDs.
The first Advanced disc concentrates on painting techniques like blending and layering, as well as improving skin tone realism and learning how to mix color shades for desired effects.
The second Advanced DVD goes in-depth into the theory and practice of non-metallic metallics, a very popular technique, yet one difficult for some to master. I explain how to determine lighting, select colors and apply them to create realistic metallic effects using normal acrylic paints. I also demonstrate SENMM (sky-earth non-metallic metallic), showing how to achieve chrome effects on a variety of surfaces. Finally, the DVD outlines how to paint gems, another difficult technique to master, and introduces diorama basing.
So from newbie to adept, there's something here for everyone!
