I did not know it was possible to paint socially.

Other people would ruin it for me, give me my futurama on netflix and then GTFO!.

I would NEVER let anyone disturb me in the process of my MASTERPIECES! heresy!

The group gest together every other Friday and lately we have been painting an Ork army for a friend that is tactically savvy when playing the game but lazy when it comes to painting. I spend most of my time by myself, but my wife and kids are getting into it as well now.

just me. Would love to get a group together

I paint alone unless I specifically head over to a friend to paint / shoot the breeze.

It's usually me and my girlfriend painting together.

I don't really like painting on my own, for some reason. Building I'm fine with, but not painting.

A bit of a toss up. It's been a long time since I've been able to play, but still paint when I have the time, usually 2-3 people, cousin and friend. Kinda like a poker night for us, get together at least once a week to paint. Fun times and lots of crazy discussions.

Just me.

Me alone, At the flgs with 4 at a time, with my brother or with good ol' Scrazza

Painting is a solo affair.

tbh i mostly paint on my own in my dedicated hobby space. I did paint at GW but i found the poor light / poor choice of music and the bad chairs didnt really help at all. They just wanted to make me leave and go back to my own inner sanctum.

I normally paint on my own.
I used to share a room with my brother and we would paint at the same time. And I have spent more days/nights in GW stores painting too.

But the most I have done has been a group of 8. We did scenery and a few other bits. Good fun mind

Same here, it seems quite difficult to get people to paint together. As if people are shy about it

If anyone is in the Dorset/Hampshire area of South England who wants a painting buddy let me know ;-)

We hold painting days every couple months, usually starting around 11am or midday , partner puts on a bbq and they often finish around 4am, though I'm usually the only one painting from start to finish >.<

People rock up and leave when they want/need to so people just drop in and out all day and we can have up to a dozen people at anyone time.

I paint by myself most of the time, but my friends and I will model/paint after a game if time permits it

Most of the time i paint by myself but i do occasionaly paint with one of my friends which i prefer because we can share tips and ideas for new conversions and paint schemes and generally chat.

Painting alone is a shameful act...

Who is going to help you through your own insecurities?

I usually paint by myself but at my local gaming club it depends how many people are there and wish to paint. If I have a friend or two over that are interested in Warhammer I will probably paint with them. All depends.

While my troops don't look NEARLY as bad as they did when i first started(feth lack of detail i call it detail-lite and war-torn) still my painting skills are shameful.

Getting better though; i managed to paint my Sergeants insignias without getting things all cross.

Usually I paint alone. Sometimes I go to my flgs and hook up with up to 3 others but I prefer not because I end up spending half of my time giving advice and tips, and answering questions about painting (because I am -that- good, oh yeah )

There's a good friend of mine who goes to my GW store and i often paint with him. He's new to the hobby like me so other than having different armies we're in the same boat. It's good to talk about how we're getting on with the hobby and all the painting etc

And hooray for not being a doomed slave anymore. It wasn't the most flattering of titles! I'm quite pleased with my new one I like repeater crossbowmen

Any amount, I don't care though normally I paint with none, one, or two others.

Bout 3 i think

I sometimes paint by myself , but I usually paint with my brother.

I drink and paint with me fellows...

Not that much drinking but enough to make it a bit more fun.

(Then it's the hardcore producing painting which is by my self).

I paint only at home, but my significant other is painting as well... so it's kinda social, anyway

Paint mostly by myself, sometimes with a friend if they are assembling models.

I have painted socially. While I enjoy doing it, I hate the packing/transporting/unpacking that goes with it.

80% of my painting occurs by myself. However, my local GW has a good painting community, so it is fun to go in and see other people's methods of painting and projects. There are about 3+ people painting almost all the time. I will bring in my recently completed work to 'show off' to the store manager and other hobbyists. Getting compliments and tips is a good way to keep me motivated to keep going on my projects.

My two gaming buddies will paint with me after we play games at my house. We also built and painted a gaming table. Our methods are all very different, but the quality is almost dead even, if not very differently style.
