Hello There!

We’re Mat and Stephen—two dads, husbands, and hobbyists who found miniature painting as more than just a pastime. What began as a creative outlet quickly became a way to focus, relieve stress, and support positive mental health.

We’re not “pro painters,” and that’s the point. Brush and Banner is a space where painters of all levels—especially beginners—can grow, experiment, and succeed. Every brush stroke is progress, and every miniature tells a story of creativity and patience.

Here you’ll find resources, guides, and a community built to encourage, not intimidate. Whether it’s your first figure or a new technique, our mission is to support you every step of the way.

Miniature painting isn’t just about models—it’s about confidence, joy, and connection.

Welcome to Brush and Banner. We’re glad you’re here.
