Have you ever tried to paint a miniature casting an electric spell effect, holding a torch, or standing next to a neon sign or under a street light? In this class we’ll start by studying some basic properties of light, and learn how colour palette choices, placement of shadows and highlights, and other elements can create a convincing OSL effect. You’ll be able to put theory into practice in the second half of the class. Source lighting effects do not require advanced brushwork techniques, so you can use drybrushing and washing, or whichever techniques you prefer. Practice miniatures and paints are provided in class. You will also receive an extensive handout with reference photos so you don’t need to take notes, and can maximize your time painting in class. Please bring a few of your preferred brushes with you. Some people find convention room lighting challenging, so you might also want to bring a battery operated light and/or magnifying visor/reading classes so you can see to paint more clearly.
