Intro to Miniature Painting: All the Basics

Come learn the basic techniques and skills you will need to start painting beautiful miniatures! In this class you will learn the building blocks you will need to have to build your skills and style for painting in the 3D medium. You will focus on all the basics of the art form including light and shadow, color theory, brush techniques and control which you will use to practice and build your control. We will be painting a full mini of a 2 inch turtle in your choice of colors. 

For the majority of my life I have been heavily interested in crafts, art and hobbies. I have experience in a lot of different styles and mediums within the hobby space. From the time I was a kid I spent a lot of time learning things that interest me, which has given me experience in woodworking, paper-art, fabrication, painting, 3D printing and even comic book creation. Nerd and geek culture has been a big influence on my life and has pushed my interest in hands on and creative hobbies for decades. Not only do I love finding and learning as many hobbies as possible, but I absolutely love to teach. Sharing my knowledge and being able to support and advance peoples skills and talents within their artistic and creative endeavors is something I am very passionate about. Watching students come in with minimal experience and progress to surpass my abilities is something that gives me a lot of pride and happiness. I am looking forward to expanding my knowledge within the hobby space at Mixxer, getting to know the creators and hobbyists, and of course, sharing my knowledge with whoever has an interest in expanding their artistic heights. I look forward to working with all of you. Don't forget to follow my 3D printing, replica, statue and miniature painting account on Instagram @headhuntercustom.
