does anyone live or around the Lansing Michigan area. I would love to get some hands on help from someone to better my painting skills and refine some of the basics. I\'d be willing to pay for some help. Thanks everyone. Painting by trial and error sucks. Even classes/sessions held somewhere would be fine.

I don\'t live near you, but i could coach you a bit by email. Teach you some stuff, do you have acces to a camera?

Gen Con Indy will have lots of classes and workshops...just might be what you need. The classes won;t be online for a bit yet, but there\'s lots to choose from for minipainters.

There\'s a thread on mentoring already on the site. (guess who started it!)
So if you want some online assistance recommendations please feel free to contact me.
Mike.

the loss of the human touch.

On-line may be all you are able to get for a while. Still, there are a lot of us out there, you never know.

If you cannot find someone here try your local gaming stores. There are three GW stores in Michigan; Dearborn, Auburn Hills, and Novi. I have no idea where those are, or how close they are to you. The one near me always has some folks painting it in, and they always seem ready to talk when I ask. Still, I have heard many stories about people getting the cold shoulder at GW stores.

If you are willing to pay, you might want to check out other hobby stores. Michaels Arts and Crafts has hobby classes. Once upon a time my mother took classes on statue painting. She painted 8\" to 12\" Santas. It\'s much larger scale, but the techniques are very similar. She showed me how to dry brush and do washes.

If you lived in Athens I\'d be glad to help. But Michigan is a bit of a commute.

Painitng Mentor

A good place to start would be at The Fortress in East Lansing. There are numerous GW outriders that run painting seminars every month. It wouldn\'t be too difficult to walk in and ask questions. Plus, there are usually people painting minis almost every day. The best time to stop in would be Fridays after 6pm.

Thanks everyone,
I plan on trying to make it to Gencon this year, i went a few years ago just to game. I did not know they had painting classes there too. Does that normally appear in the game registraating area. Also thanks about the GW stores I can try and give a call to them And I\'ve been in the Fortress in Lansing but never in the evenings. Guess I\'ll have to call up that way to to see what they have to say. Again thanks for all the replies.
