Matt DiPietro is one of the most experienced miniature painters working today. He started his career in 2006 as the lead painter for Privateer Press studio. There he shaped the painting of the Warmachine and Hordes studio models for nearly a decade. These days he makes his living teaching the next generation of miniature artisans, and creating miniature art for private collectors under the banner of Contrast Miniatures. When you hear Matt talk about miniatures, art, sculpture, and painting you feel the love he has for all aspects of our hobby. As a teacher, Matt’s goal is to meet each student where they are and help them learn to explore painting while loving their work as they grow into a better painter. Matt strives daily to bridge the gap between the worlds of hobby miniatures and fine-art through his teachings and artwork.
