I want to take a minute to say thanks to everyone who attended my first painting seminar, and thanks to Planeswalker's Magic Bag for setting everything up and hosting. You guys were great! Congrats to Corwin on winning the Winsor & Newton Series 7 brush, too. That was a mighty cool Chaos Sorcerer.
It was very encouraging to see you all actively applying the techniques I was explaining was very encouraging, and I got some great advice from you guys too. From what I saw in the class I'm really looking forward to what you have to show me next time I'm there!
The web site for the tutorials I was talking about is http://miniature-mentor.com.

The OSL (object sourced lighting) examples I was talking about are here and here. The painter of the Neo Soviet scene in the first example is the sculptor of the Armorcast gun-blast add-ons that Dave was talking about seeing at GenCon.

Those two are among my favorite OSL minis... I aspire to someday paint light that convincingly and I'm actually starting something along those lines right now.
ReplyDelete/off to ask my GF to model with a bedsheet cape and a camp lantern, we'll see if that helps :)
