When students come from Russia for a two day private coaching in miniature painting

"Hello guys,

finally I found some free time to write couple of words, when I'm not falling asleep after work and not painting after midnight.
So, I think first topic would be , why I decided to go so far away from Russia (about 2500 km) to visit Massive Voodoo and take a private coaching?
Table is ready for private coaching ... figures prepared to teach on.
I wanna say, that I really like MV blog , because of great works of Roman and Raffa and especially great tutorials, that helps me very often. It was important that Roman and Raffa have a rich experience of teaching and coaching people how to paint miniatures.

So few month ago I felt that i needed to boost up my painting skills (especially with normal brush, cause more than a year i spent to master airbrush at a good level ) and I have a lot of questions that need to be answered. I thought about coaching some time and decide "because why f#cking not" and just wrote Roman a message.
With Roman & Raffa we made a plan what we are going to do at coaching and after 3 months I came to Augsburg, Germany. Coaching was planned for 4th and 5th of february, so I arrived february third, and had some time to rest and to walk around the town.
Guys met me near my hotel and take me to the studio. The atmosphere inside was incredible, a lot of painted and WIP mini's and diorams, self-painted pictures on the walls, and a lot of stuff that greets you in the world of happy painting. So after 3"R" team clarified all details of our work for those two days we started.
More than 23 hours of painting flew by in the blink of an eye, lightning , glazing, blending, wet blending, colour choises, basing, joking about Soviet Яussia and other things.

And after two weeks passed I can say that was just wonderful in all apects. I really love result of my labours, attitude of R&R to their work and their students.
a gentle start into our coaching ...

Roman and Raffa are not just great miniature painters, their also very good and friendly people I think.
I dont want to tell you about all the things we did, when we painted DE Sorceress.

I just wanna Thank Roman and Raffa for these two days (during which I feel like party of a massive voodoo team) for knowledge and secrets they taught me, for very happy painting time.
I'm glad that I was able to meet and work with these masters, they not just boost up my painting level, but changed alot my "miniature vision".
Roman's final result of the two days coaching. Topics achieved I would say:

So if you want to take a private coaching in MV studio, do not hesitate , it's worth every cent you pay!
And...Last Light just a craaaazy thing."
