You can paint an excellent miniature in only a few hours. Veteran painter Derek Schubert shares his idiosyncratic self-taught techniques to get good results fast, from true "speed painting" (one hour or less) to about eight hours for a single figure. This class will be mostly demonstration - as much of a figure as Derek can do - but you may bring your own miniature and paints to try the techniques and get immediate feedback.
So youâve painted a few minis, put the paint generally where you want it, and would like to take the next step. This class is for you. Emphasis is on key skills such as thinning paint for various uses, loading the brush, layering, wet-blending, better detail, and some hints on making color choices that work. The class will be hands-on, with brushes and paint you can use. A prepped mini will be provided that you can take with you from the class.
