Hello my name is K.C. Holt,
I am an award winning professional painter and teacher with over 25 years of painting experience.
Working with both private clients and retail business customers. I have painted models for in-store demonstration games and display pieces for widely known gaming companies, such as Games Workshop and Fantasy Flight Games. I have also worked with locally owned game stores and local independent companies. My work has been on display and used at gaming conventions such as Adepticon and Gencon.
I pride myself on producing the best quality of painted models efficiently and in a timely manner to meet and exceed my customers’ expectations.
I host Painting Clinics at local game stores and offer Private Coaching for anyone wanting to learn and improve their paint skills.

Love the colour scheme. Mind you sharing which colors are the blue/green armour? thanks.
Hello, I used Skrag Brown for the base, shade wash with Agrax Earthshade, first highlight was with Skrag Brown and final highlight wias Deathclasw Brown. Jokaero Orange would make a nice edge highlight for upper most raised areas. Thanks for the question. Good luck and Happy Painting!
Baharroth Blue is for the base coat, but which color did you use for highlining that blue? Baharroth + white? I think i don’t find any blue brighter than Baharroth blue (maybe horror blue or sky blue from vallejo)
Hello, thank you for kind words. Those models were a blast to paint! I used Monument ProAcryl paints on them. https://monumenthobbies.com/
The gold was Rich Gold and the purple was Mahogany. I then used a thin shade wash of Agrax Earthshade and Lahmian Medium (50/50 mix). I have a pre-mix of this on my desk and it makes it easier then having to mix each time. I find the thin mix works much better then a 100% Agrax Earthshade as it doesn’t darken the area to much and I can add another layer to make it darker in the deeper shadows.
After the wash is dried, I reapplied the basecoat as my first highlight. Then layered Bright Gold on the gold areas and Burnt Sienna on the cloth.

Thank you. The orange is Jokaero Orange from GW, I suppose? The contrast between orange and blue is very nice.

Yes, you can highlight with Blue Horror, Sky Blue or add White Scar to the Baharroth Blue, which is what I did.
