In this recipe I'll explain how I found a decent way to create highlights for beginners without needing a steady hand

This method uses Citadel Contrast paints as a "base coat" for Infinity models (inspired by the work of The Tabletop Artist on Youtube). I then work my way up using regular layering and highlighting. Typically the first layer is lighter in value, but sometimes not because of how contrast paint behaves (very light higlights and very dark recess shading).

The Fire Giant from the Blood Rage board game is an excellent mini for testing lava on the base, a fiery sword, glowing runes on the body and OSL effects. My intention was to trial various different effects on different parts of the mini, so just take your pick of the bits you like.
This tutorial (including painting the whole mini) was first published in full about a year ago in three separate posts on https://boardgamegeek.com/blog/8627/griff-glowens-beginners-painting-blog
