Review: MV's Jar's Beginners Class in Herne, Germany
by Massive Voodoo
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 Sebastian and Peter who were the driving force to make this seminar come to life. Thanks to Sebastian and Anna for their great hospitality and the nice days we spent together and of course not to forget Ben, their real cool dog.
Many thanks to the Spielezentrum in Herne to provide room, shelter and coffee for the class.
Many thanks for the additional photos to this review to everyone who provided some. Roman was not able to take many. Muchas Gracias for your help!
Thanks to all the people who came to this class. Thank you for your support and trust in Roman's teaching abilities. Now to happy painting! Additional special thanks to the repeaters of this class.
Thanks to the supporters of this class who made the class wonderful due their help in sponsoring some of their products, beside Roman's crazy material collection:
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 ...
"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
Finally starting to paint!
"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!

The claw.

We left like superninjas, like we have never been there.
Kind of. At least we tried. Thanks to everyone who helped cleaning up!
Hello, what about the book with the Tiger on the Cover? Sadly i cant read the authors Name Frederic Brr...., so i can't search for it on Amazon. Is it a book about Painting? Usefull for a mini-painter? Thanks for your answer.
Hey, I just googled "Frederic" + "Tiger" and I came across this: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23503834-the-tiger
It is not a book especially about painters, but it holds great inspiration and a wonderful story in pictures and color for painters.
Cheers, Roman
I really hope to attend one of your classes some day! I spoke to Trent Denison after he visited you- he was full of inspiration! :D
