Basic skills of miniature painting - learn them on Roman Lappat's Workshop
Good Monday Morning Jungle Painters,
already some weeks ago - back in the middle of January - I was travelling to Paris, France.
More news around Miniature Painting Workshops!
No not really Paris, more in the outskirts to Versailles and even a little further away from Versailles in a small town called Fontenay-le-Fleury.
I was really looking forward to the trip as the first class Massive Voodoo did in this place back in 2012 was a real joy with very nice people.
My thanks go to Francois and Peter who helped organising the class, every student who attented the class and everyone involved in making this happen again in France. Francois wrote a review about the class on Fig'78 Team, another one at Tutofig and I can also only recommend to you all to check out their cool group blog called "Chestnut Ink". Well, thank you again to everyone who helped making the class real. Thanks to the additional photos to this review.
The theory parts of the class contain:
- Learn to see your world with different eyes
- Introduction into basing composition
- Learn how to feel harmony in different aspects
- Important contrasts for figure painting
- Explanation about how to paint a light situation on your figure
- Understand colour theory and learn how to use it properly
- Learn about different materials, their unique properties and learn to paint them
- Learn to lose fear of doing something wrong
- much more!
We took our time and Friday night passed by with having a lot of fun. Now it was time to look forward to the next day of the class as painting time was approaching, finally - it often feels weird for my students when they attend at a painting class on Friday late afternoon and start painting after lunch on Saturday.
Well, thank you all for a really cool weekend!
I hope to see you all someday again and always remember in happy painting you find the right spirit to learn on your own and be able to push yourself further without being frustrated - so:
Keep on happy painting!
Au revoir!
