Hi everyone,
I wondered if I could request some of the collective wisdom of the forum on the subject of painting, and more importantly highlighting, white on miniatures. Since getting back into the hobby I feel my painting has started to get up to a pretty decent standard, but the one colour I still struggle with is white. My usual technique is a fairly straightforward one of base colour, wash/shade and then highlight up with either the base colour, a lighter colour, or both. This seems to work well on most things but not so well with white because I can't seem to work out a good combination of base, shade and highlight. Any tips? I'm particularly looking to paint things like cloaks and also potentially some white horses for my elves.
