This was helpful. I would really like more classes on painting with acryllics, but more specifically painting miniatures.

Very good advice on how to clean the palette and the importance of cleaning the brushes. I do mostly the same, adding an extra step by reshaping my brushes using the small strips of paper (tissue/newspaper/paper roll). This way the paper also helps to draw the water from the brush leaving the brushes like new. :)
