Go a Shade Deeper (on your miniatures) with Stuart Bright

* This event takes place during the Awesome Con convention. Participants must have an Awesome Con attendee badge to take part in the painting class. *

In this class Stuart will build on basic miniatures painting techniques to take you to the next level! Now that the student understands basic concepts like color/paint selection, basecoating, washes, and drybrushing, Stuart will move on to three techniques that really make a miniature pop--midtones, shadows, and highlights.

Each student will receive a pre-assembled miniature. Brushes, paints, palettes, and other necessary materials will be provided. In recognition that this is not an introductory class, students are invited to bring their own painting supplies.

Stuart Bright painted his first miniature in 2019 after learning about Warhammer 40K. His interest started in wanting to have his army painted, but it quickly morphed into wanting to learn how to paint better and make cool art. Stuart now paints for competitions including Capital Palette, Resin Beast, and the Golden Demon. He's fascinated by the process where what starts as a 3d sculpture inside his head can come to life as part of the modeling and painting process and he is thrilled to share his students.
