A Fixture
The Atlanta Military Figure Society is extremely proud to present a two day painting workshop in conjunction with the 2012 Atlanta Model Figure Show. The workshop will be led by Atlanta Grand Master Mike Hall, and will concentrate on the techniques he employs for painting a face with oil paint. Participation in the workshop will include the Artists Preservation Group’s bust of General"] Hancock, and all the materials needed to complete the bust except for paint brushes and a base. The workshop is designed to help improve your level of painting miniatures with oil paint. Mike is well known as a leader in the figure painting world who has achieved the title of Grand Master at the Atlanta Military Figure Show, and he will be sharing his techniques to help the workshop participants improve on their painting skills.
The workshop will run for the two days prior to the Atlanta show, Thursday and Friday, in two 8 hour sessions. Mike will lead the class with a step-by-step demonstration and then the participants will paint along as Mike provides direction and feedback on each individual’s techniques. The class is designed to cover the painting of the face, but will progress to the rest of the bust as time permits. The busts will be cleaned, primed and mounted on a temporary painting block, so the students will be able to concentrate on applying the acrylic base coat and final painting of the bust in oils. The class size is being kept small to allow Mike to spend quality time with each participant.
Included in the cost of the seminar will be the afore mentioned APG bust of General Hancock. Additionally, all the supplies needed, including all acrylic and oil paints necessary to complete the bust, lights, palettes, and cleaning materials, will be provided so you will not need to bring any of these items. What you will need to bring are paint brushes. Mike will be using the following paint brushes and recommends the participants acquire these same brushes for the purpose of getting the most out of this workshop.
These brushes can be ordered from Dick Blick Art Supplies at discounted prices:
