What is one speed painting technique for tabletop minis in dry winter air that you personally rely on for fast, decent results? Why does this approach (e.g., contrast underpainting or controlled zenithal) work better for you in cold conditions?

In dry winter air, the contrast underpainting method is highly effective for painting tabletop minis. It begins with a dark monochromatic undercoat, followed by contrast paints or washes that highlight details and add depth quickly. This technique combats the challenges of fast-drying paint, ensuring smoother application and reducing unwanted texture. The initial dark layer helps the contrast paints flow better and create defined shadow areas efficiently.
