Everything you need is provided—your high-detail monster miniature, paints, brushes, palettes, and workstation setup. Just bring yourself and your imagination!

- 🌿 Novice / Intermediate: Build muscle memory, brush control, and confidence on a fresh miniature with guided support from seasoned painters.

Event Highlights
- Glow & Grow Fellowship: Anyone can request supportive feedback from other painters and earn a reward toward their next workshop.
- Sticky Note Showcase: At the end, we bring all finished models together for an art-gallery feel and hero photos, where anyone can leave quick, encouraging sticky-note tips and praise next to participating minis.
