Masterclass 1 will be offered on the weekend of February 23-24 and Masterclass II on the following weekend, March 2-3 at Le Griffon store situated at 19 Wellington N, Sherbrooke, Qc.

A Masterclass is an intensive class on painting figurines over 2 days. Every techniques and theoretical concepts are covered from the undercoat to perfect blending passing by zenithal lighting.

The imposed figurine will allow every student to have plenty of time to explore the principal areas of painting: clothing, skin, the face and metallics. In term of theory, zenithal lighting, composition, color theory and base conception will be explored giving every students a complete understanding of the theoretical concepts to maximise the impact of his or her miniature.

The class is over 2 intensive days, Saturday and Sunday. Saturday starts at 9 am and last until 9 pm and Sunday goes from 9am to 5 pm.

The class is open to every level of painters. Whether you are holding a brush for the first time or you have painted hundreds of models for your armies everyone will benefit from this class. Each students will receive the same technical and theoretical information but the follow up is totally personalized and 1 on 1. Every student will be pushed to the maximum of his or her abilities in order to make sure that everyone get the maximum out of this experience. So whether you are an army painter that want to know how to have better results on its favorite model or you are the painter that dream about a Golden Demon this class is for you.

Masterclass II are for the painters that want to reach another level and discover vehicle painting techniques. The regular Masterclass did not require any experience. It was open to every painter motivated to learn whether you had painted a mini before or not. The Masterclass II is aimed at painters with more experience. We will approach various military modeling techniques, push blending to another level, explore airbrushing both for vehicule and figurine, play with unusual products such as oil paint and weathering pigment and experiment with base building and painting.

The airbrush section of this class will be a 3-4 hours demonstration. Every do and don’t will be explained and demonstrated.

Furthermore, I was able to secure the presence of Justin McCoy, the one and only from Secret Weapon Miniatures to be present. Justin will be teaching the Sunday portion of the class on weathering with pigments as well as other weathering techniques. He will also be present on Saturday to lend a hand so you will be getting two teachers’ expertise for the price of one for the entire weekend. During this class, you’ll be exposed to two ways of thinking in terms of painting and weathering. You might want to bring notebooks to write down all these tips.

This class will be a once in a lifetime experience. Do not expect it to be recreated since I doubt that any of the circumstances will ever be right again.

So jump on this opportunity for the greatest Masterclass II ever. You are getting two professionals from the industry at your disposal for an entire weekend. Part of the crew from Screaming Heretic podcast will also be present. I can guarantee you that there won’t be a dull moment during the entire weekend.

Sherbrooke is 4 hours driving from Boston and 1 hour and a half from Montreal and its major airport.

The cost will be 75$ for Masterclass I and 90$ for Masterclass II or 150$ for both (a 15$ saving).
