Max Dubois

My name is Max Dubois, and I’m a miniature painter from Quebec City, Canada.

For nearly 20 years, most of the days for most of the day, miniature painting has been my craft. As a freelance painter, I’ve completed high-quality armies and display models, earned more than a few awards, and travelled to many tournaments and conventions around the world where I made countless friends.

I like to joke that I started writing to impress a local barista. It’s only partly true. Painting gave me something worth writing about. After years working in, and later owning, a game store, I saw the same hobby questions come up again and again, along with the gaps in traditional painting advice.

These books are my most complete attempt to share the methods and lessons I’ve learned painting and teaching other painters. I don't mean to impress you with what I've accomplish, or dazzle you with fancy words. I write to help you become a better painter, avoid a few mistakes, and get the most out of your hobby experience.
