I’ve added a TON of new content to the Display Quality Miniatures gallery! Check out all the new additions!
I’ve added a new gallery of the sketch style models I painted last year. When I started this revolution in the way I paint gaming miniatures I could not have hoped for such great success with the method. Thanks so much to my clients and supporters. I will be offering many opportunities for you to learn this great method for painting. Check out our Events Page for more information on upcoming workshops!
Contrast Miniature’s first year marked the start of many explorations into methods of painting. I found that I liked the concept of sketching on miniatures and used some form of sketching in all my work going forward. So I thought it would be fun to share a collection of all my sketches for the year. Here they are… some are in black and white others in unadulterated color. Still others are gestural sculptures.
I hope all of you are having a wonderful holiday season with family and friends. I’ll be spending the last days of 2016 updating the website and preparing for a new and exciting year. To all my customers, friends, followers, and fellow travelers I want to say thank you for making Contrast Miniatures first year a success. I wish you all find peace, love, and connection in your lives.
All the best until next year,
Matt DiPietro
If you’ve been enjoying the expressive “sketch style” gaming miniatures I’ve been producing for this first year of Contrast Miniatures then you’ll be excited for this article! Here is an introduction to my process so that anyone can try their hand at this new and attractive style.

Recently I got back to expanding a small Thamarite themed mercenary force for Warmachine! Here are two Nomad warjacks I converted and painted for this sketch style warband.
Recently I had the pleasure to paint a Malifaux warband on commission. I knew these Monks would look great in the Sketch Style. With efficient paintjobs I was able to spend some time adding freehand Tattoos to some of the special characters. I Really like this little warband! It was a blast to paint and it will look great on the battlefield!
