Hello everyone and welcome to the new Art in Miniature forum part on Planet Figure
Some of you may be familiar with the Art in Miniature fb group. For those of you that aren't, the group was set up earlier this year to promote the art of miniature figure painting and raise awareness as an art form - in many countries including the UK, its still a relatively underground activity.
Here's the link https://www.facebook.com/groups/1858970461162623/?ref=share
Please note the group isn't a modelling group - there are already several fabulous fb modelling groups in existence such the IMMC that already cover the subject of modelling and in particular military subjects.
The purpose of the group is to help raise awareness of miniature figure painting as precisely that - a incredible form of art that can often command even more hours and practice than traditional two dimensional painting.
While the group is still very new, we are welcoming new members each week from society who are interested in discovering the highly addictive art of miniature figure painting.
The current admins of the group are myself, (Mark Haywood) Colin Chandler and will very shortly include Kevin Peart.
As we are now adding more content and larger articles to the group, the larger posts will now be added directly onto Planet Figure, where more viewers will have a chance to see the material, and comment as they wish.
Last month we introduced a new feature - 'In the Spotlight' whereby we select an artist and ask them a limited number of questions on their practice, materials, and where they see miniature figure painting today. This feature will now be added directly to the Planet Figure website, giving viewers a chance to read more about the artists practice and gain a brief insight into how they like to work.
In addition to this feature, we will also be introducing a new regular painting get together in the North of England - 'Brush 'n' Brew'. Again, we will add details directly onto the PF forum shortly. Look out for a similar event that will be introduced in the South of England in due course!!
We will add the first 'Spotlight' feature shortly and look forward to sharing many more articles with you in the near future...
