The Weekend Workshop is packing it's bags once again as we head back down to Inner Sanctum Collectibles for another epic weekend of painting and learning. Our teacher for the weekend is the award winning Rafa García Marín, a former member of the Spanish Team which dominated Golden Demons throughout the 00′s, Rafa is a very experienced painter and teacher and has been at the top of the hobby for quite a few years now.
Rafa will be teaching the secrets of light and atmosphere over the course of 2 days, he will take you step by step through the ideas and theory of light and atmosphere, he will demonstrate those ideas using the free miniature you will receive and you will then get to take those new skills and apply them to your own miniature under Rafa’s Guidance. It is with no exaggeration that I say that the skills and knowledge you will acquire aren’t being taught any where else in the UK and are limited to very few people within the sci fi and fantasy miniature painting community.
The workshops costs £95 for both days, included along with your tuition is your free miniature, Games Workshop’s Savage Ork, also included is hobby support for as long as you want it after the workshop, no doubt questions will arise once you continue to apply your new knowledge and we will be here, continuing to give feedback and advice, helping to push your progression!
The workshop will run from 11am until 6pm, the workshop will be broken up into 4 main chunks, morning and afternoon session over the 2 days, the morning sessions will be more focused on the theory and ideas of what Rafa is teaching, with an hour or two in between demonstrations to get some painting done, the focus on the afternoon sessions is for you to sit down and get a good few hours painting in so you can really get to grips with what is being taught. Both myself and Rafa will be there to give you feedback and reinforce the ideas, theories and techniques, give you advice how can improve your technical skills and answer any hobby related question you can think of! When the day is done we usually head out for a few drinks and something to eat, Cambridge is a pretty lively place with fine eateries and pubs.
