Thin your paints.
If the LGS station offers a wet palette make sure to use it or have someone explain it to you if it feels confusing.
Nowadays we have tons of fairly specialised chemistry at our hands, often designed specially for miniatures. If you have this option ask around about contrast paints and their analogs from other companies as they sometimes make painting much easier.
Most of the time it is possible to strip paint from a miniature if you're unhappy with a result. It usually means cleaning the entire mini, but keep in mind that a "reset button" exists and ab unsatisfactorily painted mini is not wasted.
If you want to try to paint a detailed face either start painting with face or even better don't attach head if the mini is not pre-assembled. Makes it easier to clean up and manouver around.
Heya...this sub crossed my feed at an interesting time. do you have a recommendation on a set of paint of whats available on walmart or hobby lobby? where I live I like to buy in store if possible

Here is a video that compares cheap craft paint from Walmart to miniature paint.
