My painting hit a brick wall for mush of the autumn in 2024, right up until Christmas. Since then it seems to have returned and I have been pleasantly surprised with what I have achieved in the past month. So I am starting this topic in the hope that I can maintain the momentum for the rest of 2025. :-\  https://grahamsgaming.blogspot.com/2025/01/assorted-mostly-fantasy-painting-in.html?fbclid=IwY2xjawIG_bVleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHeVGj7bl-vpLZSe_sRmWCAP32Qw7sMdFyqM4So_dt4bPNlFl55P9TwBmZg_aem_QrcCFAR12JhF6ZbyzKqLbg

Mine is also in the doldrums after painting 14th army Sikhs and support. Essentially everything in two tones of green

But in your case that translates as "I haven't painted anything for a couple of days"!

The paint pen troll (with a wash) works well. A number of people are reporting good results with these. 

I did think the snake model was painted using pens, but I assume that is done using contrast paints?

That's right, but I intend to have a go at something more colourful with the pens soon.

Including some nice terrain for Middle Earth and other fantasy settings

That terrain is brilliant, but those woodies are just fab! (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
