MINIPEDIA 07 - NON METALLIC METAL

Finally, a guide that breaks down that classic painter's trick of making flat colors look like metal. I tried the exercise on a simple vase, and the optical illusion actually worked—really satisfying to see. The explanation of the technique is clear enough that even a hobbyist like me can follow alo

I was a little skeptical at first, but the step-by-step breakdown of how to fake metallic textures with flat paint is genuinely useful. The section on glazing techniques alone made it worth the price.

I picked this up to improve my painting technique and the instruction on creating non-metallic metallics is genuinely clever. The only reason it’s not five stars is that I wish there were more step-by-step examples for the final blending stages.
