Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy

If you enjoy painting miniatures and want a colour range designed with hobbyists in mind, the Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy collection is a great place to explore. It brings together paints created for building complete colour schemes, adding individual shades to an existing palette and working across everything from gaming miniatures to display models.

Browse the dedicated Two Thin Coats range for colours suited to basecoating, layering, shading and highlighting. You will find useful everyday tones, brighter army colours, metallic finishes and washes for adding depth and definition. This makes it easy to choose a few colours for one project or gradually build a broader collection for future miniatures. It is an approachable collection for newer painters and experienced hobbyists alike.

If you are preparing your first project, our guide to starting miniature painting explains the main stages and supplies. You can also read about common beginner painting mistakes or visit Hobby Supplies for brushes, sets and useful care accessories.
