Hands-on class: learn a fast and easy method to paint more natural hair on your miniature models. Miniatures provided by Dark Sword, paints by Reaper (RMS).
Description:
This class is hands-on - you will complete the technique in class as you follow along and I swing around to not only show you what I am doing close-up, but help you as you work on your own miniature - step by step. No need to take notes - you will receive an informative step-by-step handout to refer to at home. I will provide everything except the brush - and you need a good one with a point! The technique uses feathering and glazes to achieve a more natural looking hair on your miniatures that can be tailored to table-top or high level competition. Miniatures provided by Dark Sword Miniatures. Paints are RMS from Reaper Miniatures. As time allows, please bring your current projects for help or critique.
