Review: MV's Jar's Beginners Class in Herne, Germany

Good Morning Jungle,

today Roman finally finalised the review of his recent MV's Jar's Beginners Class in Herne, Germany that he held in the middle of December 2016. He actually planned to do this earlier, but Christmas and New Years celebration and some days of vacation took its tool and slowly Roman is crawling out of his winter cave.

 
Important information first:
Roman did forget to collecto your mail adresses and asked in the forum and here on the blog that you sent him a mail for the handout. If you not yet recieved your handout of the weekend workshop please write to baphomet(at)massivevoodoo(dot)com to recieve your handout. Sorry for this inconvinance.

First of all

Many thanks to the Spielezentrum in Herne to provide room, shelter and coffee for the class.

 After theory of basing there was the explanation time ...

 ... before everyone went crazy and enjoyed 

creating his base/vision without fear.

Wind. A new dimension in your project ...

The claw.

Magic crystals ...

 After our basing work the long night of theory arrived ...

Saturday morning arrived quick and some of Roman's students did dream of colors, contrast and zenital light.

Roman brought some models for inspiration and explanations ...

What to do with Milliput that is left over. What to do? Poo.

Sharki under close inspection.

Also some books for inspiration.

Saturday morning was packed with preparation for priming 

and color wheels, many color wheels.

"Wie schon im Seminar zu erkennen war, zeigt das, daß Du die ganze Sache wirklich sehr sehr gut machst und nicht den Profit im Vordergrund hast, sondern die Sache." - Christian

"Meine Erwartungen wurden vollkommen erfüllt. Ich wollte lernen besser zu malen. Sowohl technisch mit dem Pinsel, als auch konzeptionell, was die Planung einer Figur angeht. Mir ist klar, dass es sich um einen Einsteigerkurs handelt und komplexe Farbthemen nicht erleutert werden können. Dafür werde ich dann wohl beobachten und vielleicht doch mal ein Kunstbuch (iiih) lesen müssen.

Ich hatte in jedem Fall viel Spaß und fühle mich jetzt wissender! Vielen Dank dafür!" - Felix

Color wheels in progress.

Priming thoughts.

Everything black now.

Lunch break.

Finally starting to paint!

Color. Important ones.

There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.

Let's discuss your project plans.

The beauty of bases.

Explanation sheets.

"Ich fand den Kurs richtig gut, besonders die Bezüge zur Kunst und die Theorie haben meine Sicht auf Miniaturen grundlegend verändert. Ich war auch sehr erstaunt was man in der kurzen Zeit schaffen und die gelernte Theorie direkt umsetzen kann. Ich war durchweg von
den Resultaten aller begeistert, weil keinem Modell dem anderen gleicht.

Für mich war es definitiv nicht der letze Kurs, nicht nur wegen dem super Lehrer sondern auch wegen der Atomsphäre einer so tollen Gruppe." - Sebastian


Some of the results. 
Sadly not all of them as some had to leave on time ...

A class repeaters result who focused on painting skintones.

This was a really cool weekend with a lot to teach, cool people, nice chats, plenty of demo-nettes and really nice results.

Thank you all again!

Keep on happy painting!

We left like superninjas, like we have never been there. 

Kind of. At least we tried. Thanks to everyone who helped cleaning up!
