Come watch this fun charity event as 10 pro miniatures painters are forced to the brink of hysterics! Normally they take hours, days, weeks to paint a figure, but here they have just one gbrush and just one hour! When the brushes are down, the figures will be displayed until AUCTION TIME! 7pm Saturday night at the Gen Con Auction, you can bid on this collectable, historical, and eminently displayable lot of miniatures, with all proceeds given to charity! Manufacturer/Painters/Charity have yet to be finalized.
Industry legend Sandra Garrity gives insights into taking your sculpting to the next level. Tips and tricks she uses to create some of the most memorable pieces in the industry.
Horses, birds, reptiles, canines, felines, even fish. We paint creatures based on animals and humanoids who ride them, carry them, or wear their skins. This class will discuss a wide variety of animal types, their colors and patterns, and some variations to help make your work stand out of the herd. Animal coloration follows rules, and weâll talk about how to use them to make exotic color choices work. A color reference booklet will be provided.
