Learning to paint miniatures with great teacher Roman Lappat guiding you step by step
Hey Jungle,
time for another review. I am still a little behind things and already held a second Beginner Workshop this year, but to read the review of the second one you got to wait a little bit more. I am on it! Thanks to all of you for a beautiful happy painting weekend! Thanks for all the help during the class and afterwards.Thank you for joining up for the class even in times of a pandemic and your joy to learn painting wisdom and philosophy :) From far and close, first timers and repeaters, even a youngster ... thank you for signing up!
I want to thank you all for your feedback that I can use to build this review with! Stay healthy and paint happily :)
"This weekend workshop was bonkers! The amount of input, the amount
of inspiration, the amount of new things I learned but mainly the skills
of Roman as a painter and especially teacher was insane.
When
I read about the workshop I wasn’t sure if I‘d learn anything new, I
have seen it all on YouTube, right? Wrong! I still don’t know how it was
different but I now feel like I have understood so many things I had
thought I knew already. Although you can tell that it only scratches the
surface it went deeper than a online tutorial can because there is
someone who shows you in a really nice and easy to execute way. That
counts for both the theory but also the painting practice. I now have
some more tools in my arsenal that I know how to use but especially when
to use them and Roman didn’t even mention when this or that practice
would work better, I just know. When I read
about the course I also wasn’t sure about Roman as a teacher, sure he
is a great painter but I had no idea of the world class projects he has
done all the while he’s a great teacher and person.
All
in all I was surprised on a lot of levels, I feel inspired to take on
more projects like the one we made on this weekend and especially
useful: I feel like I can turn anything I have in mind into practice.
The money was well spent and worth every cent, I will be coming back
asap and probably will make it a recurring thing to show up at least
once a year to refresh and deepen the learned stuff.
Although
the hours are quite long it surprised me how time flew by and in the
end I didn’t know when we got this much done all the while it felt
relaxing also because of the other hobbyists you can share tips &
tricks but also discuss tabletop stuff with. If
you have any kind of creative call in you and if you have any kind of
relationship to miniatures I strongly recommend his beginner workshop, i
haven’t learned this much in one weekend ever before (as long as you
keep a spot open for me ;))" - Phillipp
"Happy painting! Yes, that sums up the weekend pretty well, or rather
the outcome of the weekend for me personally. In between I was pushed
out of my comfort zone. Which admittedly a) was quite easy and b) also
necessary XD. But since you are dealing with the topic of adult
education, you will not be surprised ^^ In any case, you have created a
really great context for me in which you realize adult education in the
field of figure painting: well relaxed, not always serious, tangible and
supportive -> happy painting.
I could have tolerated color theory
a little more (even if looking back I wouldn't have had time for it
anyway ^^), I can't even remember doing that. The color wheel was
really, really cool for me, I thought it was great, as was the mixing of
skin tones. Oh yes, and I'm really proud of my Mini too. You were
right, my best work so far; D.
Definitely have ambitions to turn
up again at the workshop. Then with a larger comfort zone from which
you can push me a little bit again.
oh and if you still need some catchy phrases:
"improving not only my skills but also my basic understanding how to paint minis to a greater effect"
"intensive
trip from basics to a finished miniature, with a supporting hand and
mind to guide your happy painting experience. Thank you Roman"
"cautious at start, full ham at the end. Thanks for guiding me to my best results so far"
It was really cool with you." - Mike
