By the end of the session students will take home their 15cms Christmas Nutcracker, a perfect way to add a personal, handcrafted touch to your holiday decorations.
This workshop is designed to introduce participants to the captivating world of medium-scale model painting. Under the guidance of the tutor, students will be led step-by-step through the process of transforming a primed blank model into a detailed, vibrant nutcracker figure.
You’ll gain practical experience and master essential techniques, including:
Proper Brush Handling: Learn how to select and manipulate different brush types for fine lines, smooth base coats, and detailed work.
Paint Application and Blending: Discover techniques for applying acrylic paints evenly, layering colours for depth, and subtle blending to create realistic shadows and highlights.
Detailing and Finishing: Receive instruction on adding intricate details—like facial features, uniform accents, and boots—to bring your miniature soldier to life, concluding with tips for sealing and preserving your finished piece.
Fee includes ALL material, and the Christmas Nutcracker (15cms in height)
