This class will teach you how to paint a face to look realistic. You will learn where on a face to shadow and highlight, how to paint a mouth, and how to paint eyes and eyebrows. I was once told that girls paint the best girl faces- thatâs because we know how to apply makeup in real life. This class will teach you enough about makeup for miniatures, and how to paint a face to look like it is tastefully wearing make up. A handout is provided.
Good at painting line troops, but that sorceress or priestess mini is daunting? This is the class for you! We'll discuss what is different about painting female minis, learn tricks for improving hair and faces, consider different skin tones, and talk about all that flowing material they sometimes wear. Bring ID to prove age and minis you have questions about. Handout provided.
Ever get frustrated with skin looking chalky? Bored with the same color skin every time? Wonder how to make female skin more feminine and male skin more masculine? Then this is the class for you. There will be a discussion of techniques, with samples, demonstrations, and some hands-on instruction. Please bring your own brushes and samples of your recent work.
Painting skin tones may seem daunting, but there are ways to approach color choices along with some tricks and techniques that can make them a whole lot easier. The emphasis of the class will be hands-on, but weâll also cover planning, examples and non-human/special effects for skin. There will be brushes and paint you can use, and a prepped mini will be provided that you can take with you from the class along with a color information packet.
