My Worst Failure Was My Greatest Triumph -- Mocha Minis
Show Notes

Mocha shares how she started painting miniatures and the importance of smooth blends on every mini she paints. We also discuss the struggles she's had with feeling like she is ready to tackle more complex pieces. How does anyone know when they're ready to paint one of their dream miniatures, or should they just go for it?

Mocha also makes the point that not every miniature has to be better than the one before. There's nothing wrong with painting to a lower level if that is what will achieve the goal or purpoise you have for that project.

We also discuss how one of the worst disasters of her commission painting carrier was also one of the biggest triumphs in the development of her skills. Each project has the potential to be both the best and the worst we've ever done, but that shouldn't eve stop us from trying and continuing to learn.
