I have been Teaching Miniature painting for over 15 years now and as my skill has improved so have my methods. This course is a refinement of these teaching experiences.
I have found that over the last 4 years of teaching I have ALWAYS taught the same things to ALL painters of ALL levels. These things are THE FUNDAMENTALS OF PAINTING.
Whether you are painting to a basic level or to high display standard these fundamentals NEVER CHANGE. They are ESSENTIAL!
So on this course I plan to build your fundamentals to improve your overall painting ability

Some, but by no means all of the ideas taught will be;

The Different core brush strokes
The Holy Grail of the ideal paint consistency
The pallet and its full use
How to avoid lumpy streaky paint
Create a solid foundation for attending our other events
How to use the principles as a tool to keep improving your painting FOREVER!

This event will be intensive and the list above is just a small taste of the course ahead.

While it can work okay in print (because you can turn the flyer) text on an angle is a big pita online. That said, wish it wasn't so far away.

next poster might be better

So there i was in the bath this evening thinking about the latest Golem event (Painting Fundamentals) and it was dawning on me actually WHAT the event was actually about!

It is about spending LESS MONEY and LESS TIME to get GREATER RESULT.

To get greater results for less effort we must learn to 'see' and to develop our physical skills and knowledge.

Over the next month I will be writing a worksheet for those attending and I must say I am very excited to pass this Knowledge on!

I have a thread on Thebolter and Chainsword forum with my Wolf Lord on and this threads discussion led me to thinking yet again about the upcoming event and its teachings.

this is what I wrote on the thread;

" apologies I can be a turd sometimes!

For the armour i just airbrushed on a 1 stage highlight. 10 mins work
then line hilighted one step higher every whwere else. 5 mins



the shadeing is pretty much the same application idea but in a different colour in a different area.



the wolf pelt is just washed down from light to dark. no secret technique or any thing just layer in the appropriate area and let it dry getting darker and closer to the center as you repeat.
the goldy and steel and bone colors are - base, wash, re base leaving dark areas, single highlight

plus there are lots of areas either not shaded or not highlighted

I did pay most of my attention to the conversion admittedly
and I went to a greater quality on the cloak, banner front, and face because a character model deerves it.

What I teach all the guys that work in the studio is that It takes just as long to paint a bad line in the a bad place than it does to paint a good line in a good place. the true difference between the two is self awareness and practice (or lack of) And in most cases with a bad line in a bad place you spend even more time farting about correcting or just getting frustrated and giving up.



In a professional studio this positive attitude is essential because it is economical or in other words less time spent, less money spent, a greater end result.

Aw I wish we could all get together and I'll show you all!

again apologies for being a douche "

Food for thought?
