As a Guitarist, I interpret "Practice Makes Perminant" means if you practice poorly, you will retain poor technique in your muscle memory. So, "Perfect Practice makes Perfect" calls for making sure that when you sit down to practice you are not repeating bad habits and poor techniques for the sake of sitting down to practice.

Same, I think this is what the asker meant as well. What would be examples of bad practice in miniature painting? I think maybe something like the directions of your brush strokes being wrong. I.e. not drawing the brush towards where you want the most amount of paint so that when you remove your brush you get that last bit of paint in a place that should actually have the least. I did this myself for many years and I still struggle to correct this habit.

I'm a good example of practice makes permanent for playing guitar: - my first guitar was a flying V so I always seat my guitar almost vertically on my left leg - I hold my plectrum between my thumb and second finger - I tremolo strum with my wrist, not my arm - I neglected to use my little finger much so I subconsiously default to my ring finger to play notes further away And so much more.

From a martial arts standpoint I look at the practice vs perfect practice differently. Practicing bad habits or incorrect technique ingrains those wrong ways of doing things. If you practice throwing a punch the wrong way over and over, when you get in fight you will throw that punch wrong and you can't undo it. Perfect practice in that context is practicing correctly: practicing correct technique and good habits. The saying is all about practicing isn't enough, you have to practice right. In mini-painting I am not sure it applies so much; the result matters more than the road you took to get there. Painting is an additive process, so if you do something wrong you can fix it, something not possible with real time arts like fighting or playing an instrument.

There are some decal tricks that might be a little overboard but will make sure it comes out perfect. Gloss varnish the shoulder pad first. Trim the decal as close as possible to the shape (unless you’re using GW decals that are already the exact shape) and lay it face up on a completely wet paper towel. Coat the surface with a fair bit of Decal Set so the decal will be applied to a wet area. This gives you 30-45 seconds to be able to move it around easily without it sticking, folding or tearing. It’s essentially “floating” on the shoulder pad while you position it (I use something rigid like a toothpick or exacto point). Once it’s in the perfect position, let the Decal Set evaporate until it’s almost dry and apply a coat of Decal Softener. Give that about 30 seconds to soften the decal, then take a Q-tip dipped in softener to roll out any wrinkles. You can press firmly and roll toward the edges of the decal to smooth it like a rolling pin. Hit the whole thing with Matte varnish and once that dries it will literally look like it’s painted on and integrated with the surface with zero lines.

If you're ever in a situation where you forgot an additive or to remove some of the oil, heat and circulation are always key to drying things. You can use a fan, a space heater on the lowest setting at a safe distance, or a food dehydrator on a very low setting. Those last two you want to avoid softening the model and/or drying the paint too quickly.

1:02:00 to expand on this, your brain’s muscle memory comes from neural pathways in the brain. Whenever you do a new task you start to pave a new neural pathway. The more you sculpt that pathway, the more familiar and permanent it will become. To better set these pathways is to have a lot of sleep. You do almost all of your learning in REM sleep; as that’s when your brain transfers short term memory to long term. The most important thing is to get high quality reps consistently with a couple break days.

1:07:15 to answer Jon’s question to us goodiepp’s: yes I definitely try new things on every model, or try a BETTER way to do something I already know how to do. Better is obviously subjective, but usually for me it means using a color im not as confident in when using a specific technique or style. which I think is something people don’t like to admit. Feathering or glazing or any technique/style can be much harder or easier for someone, depending on the color. So I try to at least understand how different colors or shades of paint act. And then I feel like I can achieve greater results more consistently across different types of models/color schemes.

For decals, decal softener will actually melt them a bit and thin them out, reducing that edge. Then with setter and varnish, it will generally make those edges disappear nicely. It is also good/necessary for when your decals are going on uneven surfaces, like over a panel line, or some surface that otherwise makes the decal want to wrinkle.

What the first part of "practice makes permanent, perfect practice make permanent perfectly" in music, refers to the fact that if you practice something wrong, you are going to learn something wrong. So I think that the first question maybe was asking if there is a way to learn to paint wrong, and what is the way to avoid learning to paint the "wrong way".

59:15 Practice makes permanent / reps create habits - 100% true for motor-skill learning, physiotherapy and muscle memory. Jon's point: To play a song on piano correctly - you need to learn notes PERFECTLY or the song sounds "wrong", 100% 'no mistakes' Scott's Point: Rehearsing ad nauseum until the habit is refined and skill is honed for a perfect result - like MLB Sluggers with "wack" batting stances that CRUSH +400ft homers. Any amount of practice/reps with a focus to improve help the cognitive aspects - which in turn assist application of the motor-skills (decision making & working efficiently)
@julianhennig3579

I think the first question about perfect practice boils down to consistently stay at it and overall improve and basically develop your hobby muscle memory and practice with intention. To improve more effectively it’s important to set yourself specific goals (outside your comfort zone) like “with this model I’m going for NMM” or osl or whatever. At least that would be my summary.

To speed up the drying time for oils you want to use an alkyd medium such as galkyd, or liquin, or you can mix in a radiant oil paint which is a brighter oil paint used for highlights. Abteilung 502 oil paint isn't fast drying. It's just marketing. It is full of oil in comparison to radiant oils and will remain wet on a model for days where the radiant oils will be hard on the dry pallet overnight.

@@cassandracastro2759 Yeah I found out the hard way to on a bust. It took a week to dry and it was extremely glossy and still tacky to the touch. Which is a waste since I got many of the sets before I realized there was drying issue. I was under the impression that it takes weeks to dry but actually how much you use it should be a few hours to a day. I started to follow James Wappel and figured out that radiants are the way to go. I have a bunch of artist grade oils now and hardly touch the Abteilung 502. I think the consensus between the many mini oil painters is that the good brands are the pro or artist grade versions of the following brands: Williamsburg, Gamblin, Schmincke and Winsor & Newton. The hobby paints are kind of junk like Scale 75 FLOWW and Abteilung 502. They put too much oil in the paint to create a smooth finish which isnt needed.

Tip for magnets on bases: Use 5 minute 2 part epoxy. Personally I'll do this by lining up all of the bases im doing in rows upsidedown, then take a piece of flat metal rod and attach the magnets to that so they are centered in each base and setting inside of the base they are going to be used on. Lastly mix the 2 part epoxy and pour into the base next to the edge of each magnet. Wait about 10 to 15 minutes and then remove bases from the metal rod.

I would rather attempt a technique on a miniature for my army than waste time "practicing" on a different miniature. I don't agree with his politics, but I'm a big fan of "F&%k It! We're doing it live!" I also don't feel that the amount of mental anguish people suffer making sure they can perfectly match a colour across an entire army, and be able to recreate it when you come back years ago is warranted. I intentionally painted an army where I did random basing, and it's not that noticeable. I paint only with Kimera so every colour is a custom mix and definitely doesn't perfectly match between models. Heck, I've painted an Infinity Tag where each limb was spot-mixed by eye to match the existing paint, and probably doesn't perfectly match, but it's not not really apparent. I've painted, intentionally, a WWII Canadian army where the uniforms were slightly different shades of green because that's how it actually was, and you don't really notice looking at the group. This is why I just try new things as I feel like it on whatever miniature I happen to be painting at the time. It doesn't matter, and I'm only painting X models in my entire life, so I want to have X painted miniatures, not X painted - 200 "practice" miniatures.

You guys completely misinterpreted the practice makes permanent question. What it means is that whatever you practice, will become permanent. Say for instance if you practice the guitar but with a wrong grip or you do an exercise with poor form, you’ll keep doing that because it becomes ingrained. In this hobby for instance it could be that you keep painting with paint that is too thick and you never get corrected, you’ll never get past that hurdle or you hold the brush wrong (Vincy V style) it might reduce your skill ceiling due to poorer brush control. Whereas Perfect Practice makes Perfect, means that you get the technical stuff correct and then practice using that to achieve the closest we can to perfection. It is something I try to teach daily as a trainer.
