A Fixture
A first for PlanetFigure and a first for figurists in the USA!
We, at PlanetFigure, are proud to present a new project designed to help improve any one's level on painting miniatures. For the first time in the USA, we will host a figure painting class in St. Louis with the renowned acrylics painter Fernando Ruiz, from Barcelona, Spain.
More than just your average hour long painting demo at a figure show, this will cover all the basics and advanced techniques demonstrated by painters from Spain and Europe.
Figurists across Spain, Italy and the rest of Europe attend workshops and seminars between shows to learn from talented and well known artists that share their techniques to help other painters to strengthen their skills. We, at PlanetFigure, have decided to try giving the same chance of live learning to painters here in North America for the first time.
This class will consist of 8 hour sessions over three days and will cover the painting of a 54 mm figure from start to finish with acrylics’ techniques. The class size will be kept minimal giving Fernando time to assist each participant to follow along.
Included in the cost of the seminar will be a set of top quality Marta Kolinsky brushes for each participant and the miniature. Also, we’ll be providing diverse reference material for each pupil, including a printed SBS on the miniature (Fernando will bring a sample of it painted and will paint another one live so everybody can see the process) along with high resolution photographs.
Veteran painters or new painters, the depth of instruction and tutorial would be a benefit to everyone.
Also we plan to do some other general activities in order to relax from the class hours and get the pupils to know each other in a good atmosphere of friendship and comradeship.

When: September 2-4
Where: Embassy Suites (Augusta Room), St. Charles, Missouri
