This month's episode features an old friend I've been wanting to interview on the BWU podcast since the very beginning, professional miniatures painter, Matt DiPietro! Matt is a Golden Demon award winner who worked as Privateer Press' studio painter for many years before pursuing his career independently at Contrast Miniatures and as part of the team at Miniature Monthly. Matt took the time out of his busy schedule to talk about his journey from amateur to world-class competitive painter, shared some thoughts on the history of art as it relates to minis painting, and shared some super valuable tips and tricks sure to be of interest to all painters whether newly started on their journey or seasoned pros.

These days Matt is one of the most talented hired guns in miniatures painting. You can hire his services at Contrast Miniatures as a commission painter or as an instructor for painters of every skill level.

You can also see more of his work on Instagram.
