Welcome to PaintingBig!

Anne, surrounded by Reaper paints and models, from her days working at Reaper Headquarters in Denton, TX.

Explore Your Creativity

Anne’s mission is to cut the frustration out of miniature painting so you can get more enjoyment out of your hobby. She strives to break down topics so that students can really understand WHY their paints and tools act the way they do. A better understanding of concepts and techniques frees YOU to explore your own creativity and to take your painting to any level you desire!

PAINTING INSTRUCTION FOR ALL LEVELS

Today, Anne is a top-level miniature painter, but she has never forgotten what it was like to struggle with techniques as she was trying to improve. She loves to teach beginners and intermediate painters the skills they need to break through and paint models they really love—models that will bring oohs and ahhs from their friends and fellow painters, whether it’s around the gaming table, at a convention, or in a miniatures painting competition! Anne is also open to coaching more advanced painters to help them up their game with painting textures, freehand designs, or utilizing traditional art techniques like grisaille and other forms of underpainting.
