The briefing for the weekend is as follows

“Colour Theory, Underpainting techniques & Advanced Contrast Paints”

A deep dive into Renaissance underpainting techniques and how to use them in miniature painting with modern tools like Contrast Paints and Inks!

From speed and army painting to high quality display models I’ll show you how and why these methods have been used for centuries by classic painters to ease, speed up and of course improve the quality of their masterpieces and how this knowledge can be easily applied to our little canvases.

-This is a “Brush Only” Painting Workshop.

Need to know before you attend Marco Frisoni Painting Workshop

I will make a WhatsApp group for the class MAKE SURE I HAVE YOUR MOBILE NUMBER IF YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF THIS.

This venue is remote but only 5 minutes from the World Heritage Site of Stonehenge so a car is recommended, if you don’t have a car, then transfers are available from the Airport/ Train stations at additional cost a Taxi from the station to our venue is around £30 so do let me know as we can offer it much cheaper than that. Closer to the time I will get a WhatsApp group set up so you can make any joint arrangements/ get involved in the hype 😊
