This class is meant to be a fun social experience for learners to interact with each other and talk about various tabletop miniature based games while painting some of their models.  This will be a positive and supportive learning environment for miniature painters of all levels.

Each class will start with a lesson on the basics of miniature painting aimed at improving the skills needs to create clean, well-painted models.  The class will focus on skills such as base coating, highlighting, washing, glazing dry brushing, blending, color theory and more.

This class applies to any games using tabletop models, especially models for D&D, Warhammer, Superheroes, etc.

To participate in this class, students should have at least 2-3 unpainted models, a set of brushes and paints.  If students want to take their painting skills to the next level, a list of other (optional) supplies can be provided to learners that enrol in the class.

The schedule for the class will be as follows:

Day 1:  Introduction to the tools of the trade, a look at the different types of paint, model colour theory, how to base coat.

Day 2:  Introduction to shading, blending and dry brushing techniques.
     
Day 3:  Using layering, contrast painting, glazing and highlighting to make your models "pop".

Day 4:  The art of designing bases, an introduction to technical painting (creating effects like slime, rust and glowing). This class will also be used for all remaining student questions and a chance for learners to show off their models.

If you have any questions about supplies or need some recommendations on products before you enrol, please let me know, and I'll be happy to help.
