Essentially, this class will cover use of a number of additives to your hobby paints to make them behave exactly how to want them to. Some of the materials might surprise you!
Description:
This class will cover a number of additives you can use with your acrylic hobby paints to influence their behavior for a wide variety of effects and results. The materials discussed and used in the class play nicely with a wide range of hobby paint brands and will likely up your painting game significantly! Participants are asked to bring their own brushes, but samples of additives will be provided for use - if you want to bring your own paints to see how they can behave, please do! (Note: I'm a big believer in cheap and easy!) A basic knowledge of using hobby paints to paint miniatures or fine scale models is expected, but we're not necessarily reinventing the wheel.
