Hi everyone, I am organising a 2 day painting workshop up in Liverpool, UK and I would very much like you to come along!
Platoon Britannica Presents...
The Weekend Workshop! A 2 day painting workshop with award winning UK painters, you will be taken through step by step ,the very basic to the most advanced techniques, its a fantastic opportunity to improve your painting skills! Places cost £60 each per person, included is a miniature and breakfast and lunch for both days. Places are limited to 16 people, so book early to avoid disappointment!
The two tutors we have teaching are Chris Octive and Scott Hockley.
Chris is known for his more european style and has recently picked up gold in Germany for Warhammer Monster and took first place at Salute in Fantasy Creature. Chris will be focussing on teaching metallics and monster flesh on a Games Workshop Beastman, Chris' students will also receive their own GW Beastman to paint at the workshop and take home.
Scott has more of a UK style and has a quite a few trophies on his shelf, included are a bronze at the UK Demon, several wins at Salute and Wamp, including Best in Show at Wamp 2011. Scott will be focussing on human skin tones and non-metallic metal on Statuesque Miniatures' Bella the Partisan, Scott's students will also receive their own Bella to paint at the workshop and take home.
The workshop officially starts on Saturday, (although the venue will be open on Friday night as we will be setting up, so if your arriving in Liverpool on the Friday and want come down, meet up, join us for something to eat and a few drinks, you can do that, just let us know) students will be broken up into 2 groups and will sit with their tutor of choice. Scott or Chris will then take you through, step by step on how to paint your mini, concentrating on their specific areas of expertise.
Towards the end of the 2nd day we will break the workshop up a little by having a few demonstrations, this is a chance for pupils to have a chat with the tutors and get their feedback and advice on any subjects they want, John Harrison will be demonstrating how he takes and edits pictures of his minis (everyone will get a nice picture of their miniature emailed to them after the workshop), Scott will be doing a demo of how he paints faces and Chris will be be talking about colour theory and how he approaches competitions.
Items that you will need to bring with you!
Paints
Paint Brushes
A Lamp (or two) with a daylight bulb
Palette (ideally a wet palette)
A scalpel or X-acto knife
Fine grit sand paper/file
Pin vice, drill bit and brass rod

Dont worry if you cant bring all these items or you forget some as we will have some spare or you can lend them.
