Lil’Legend Academy: Painting Course Skin Tones and Faces
‘Faces and bases – a lot can be forgiven in between.’
Anon
As miniature artists our choice of canvas is largely chosen for us – you buy a miniature with a screaming face, you’re going to paint a miniature with a screaming face! But, we can choose how to characterise the lines of our faces, softening creases, empahsising others, to turn plastic into a character.
This one-day course is designed to take your through fundamentals of painting skin, faces and how to create characterisaion through our choice of brush stroke. Transform those bare heads into mini characters and enjoy painting the squishy, fleshy parts of your models again. Get rid of the fear and enjoy miniature painting.
