For first-time students to the Miniature Painting Lessons, I recommend the introductory course which covers 6 touchstones of miniature painting:

• Introductory course to miniature painting

• Preshading miniatures. (airbrush and brush) • Colour application (Airbrush and Brush) • Colour Theory • Simple weathering • Advanced weathering • Brush Control The above offers a good overview of the techniques I use every day to paint miniatures. For a more thorough interrogation of these subjects, we break each down into 3-4 lessons with greater students participation.

The above offers a good overview of the techniques I use every day to paint miniatures. For a more thorough interrogation, the Miniature Painting Lessons can break each subject down into 3-4 lessons with greater students participation. These courses include:

• Airbrush Masterclass

• Brush control Masterclass • Weathering Masterclass • Colour Theory Freehand Masterclass Students who graduate from these targeted lessons may choose individual projects to concentrate on. We create custom palettes for your miniatures using the information gleaned from the lessons, and I guide you through each step of the process. Each lesson is approximately 40 minutes long and is subject to availability.

That sounds awesome! How do I sign up?

What if there are no spaces on the tuition courses?

I wish there were more hours in the day! Unfortunately, the Miniature Painting Lessons were incredibly quick. I do not oversell places to ensure each student is guaranteed time during the month. If you would like to book a one off consultation you can do so here:

CONSULTATION

Every quarter new spaces are made available to new students. If you would like to join the waiting list please contact me. It’s been a busy month and I missed my time. Is it lost? No, it is not. I understand that in the hierarchy of life’s priorities, miniature painting should be waaaaaay down the list. Lessons can be rolled over for up to 1 year from the time of the missed appointment. As long as you are still a student on the tuition tier, you will not lose your time. If you would like to be taught in person check out our Tuition roadmap. If you would like to host a class and at least 10 people will attend, please contact me.
