Description
Tesseract Minis is an established UK-based commission painting studio. The owner, Stuart Waddicor, has been painting miniatures since 1996. In recent years, Stuart has developed a passion for teaching and a strong desire to help others in the figure painting community.
Black Sun Studios has paid considerable attention to ensuring our students are comfortable and confident, whether they attend one of our studio manager’s beginner classes or a weekend workshop with a well-known instructor. We are now able to offer, on a regular basis, classes and workshops that provide a transition from beginner and intermediate levels to the more challenging subjects covered in a workshop.
This carefully structured class, combined with Stuart’s skills and teaching ability, offers a perfect introduction for those taking their first steps toward display-level painting, without limiting their ability to develop their own style. Concentrating on achieving a weathered skin tone, you will learn to incorporate effects like stubble, bruising, scratches, scars, and other intricate details. You will also be guided on how to accurately depict hair and introduced to techniques for rendering diverse surface textures, enhancing the depth and character of your artwork. Stuart will support and guide you throughout the day as you learn essential techniques to improve your painting skills. By the end of this class, you will have a solid foundational understanding of portraiture in 3D. Students will paint the Bel’Thor the Hunter bust sculpted by Quentin Fontanel.
