Review: MV Private Coaching with Aurélie

by Roman aka jar


 Good Morning Jungle,

incoming private coaching review.
This time with Aurélie.

I enjoyed two splendid days with a really cool paintress from Berlin.
Main subject on the coaching with Aurélie this was
"how to create atmosphere while painting a miniature".

Side topics:

 - better understanding of light and shadow
- pushing contrast
- advanced color theory




Aurélie wrote a little review herself (german only):


"Ich habe mich für ein private coaching mit Roman entschlossen, weil ich meine Erfahrungen einigen Bereichen erweitern wollte.
Als unser Termin feststand, bat Roman mich darum mir ein Thema zu überlegen und in Anbetracht dessen, was ich alles bei ihm lernen könnte, war das keine leichte Entscheidung. Leider sind es ja nur zwei Tage die viel zu schnell um sind ;) Roman hat sich viel Zeit genommen sich ein Thema aus meinen Vorstellungen zu überlegen. Die Wahl fiel auf das Thema Atmosphäre, also wie man eine Figur atmosphärisch in Szene setzt, das Gesamtverständnis von Licht und Schatten sowie das generelle Verständnis von Haut und Metall. Hierbei war es mir besonders wichtig, wie man eine realistische Bemalung umsetzt.
Die Shennay Büste eignete sich besonders gut, um alle vorgenommenen Themen abzudecken. Bevor die Büste Farbe bekennen musste, lernte ich zunächst viel Theorie. Es war aber nicht zu viel, dass man direkt überfordert wäre. Wir haben uns auch viele Bilder angeschaut und analysiert. So bekam ich ein generelles Verständnis von Licht, Schatten und Atmosphäre. Ein paar Übungen im Anschluss haben mir sehr geholfen, die Theorie zu festigen. Mir hat es besonders viel Spaß gemacht die Farben nachzumischen und ein Verständnis dafür zu entwickeln, wie man Farben in einer kühlen, warmen und schattigen Umgebung darstellt. Während des gesamten Coachings gab Roman eine klare Linie vor, ließ aber immer viel Raum für eigene Kreativität. Vor allem hat mir Roman immer alles so gut erklärt, dass ich es direkt verstanden habe und umsetzen konnte.
Das Privat Coaching hat mich ein gutes Stück nach vorne gebracht und mein Horizont erweitert. Es hat unheimlich viel Spaß gemacht und es war sehr inspirierend. Eine Erfahrung die jedem nur ans Herz legen kann :)"

Roman:

I really enjoyed the coaching with Aurélie.
Not very often you meet someone with the same job that I have. Miniature Painting for a living.
Aurélie is offering high quality tabletop comission paintjobs and it was a real joy to talk in depth about both our experiences in the field of a full time miniature painter. Being full time since over a decade myself it was good to see Aurélie's perspective on this kind of job. This was a cool exchange and we both will definatly benefit from it.

My famous wolve task for my student who wants to understand
the principles and basic knowledge of atmosphere while painting. It was a true joy observing Aurélie while she was in the middle of it. Very often in this stage I can hear my students brain go click, click, click ... same with Aurélie. I was really looking forward starting to paint on her bust soon.


After Aurélie was inducted to all theory that is important to transport this knowledge to her personal painting process we both started a bust each with applying basic colors. Planning metals to be painted in the final stage of the paintjob we left them black. Just black for now.


Shennay - Scale 75

Uther - Black Crow Miniatures
This guy wears too much metal.

Time flew by while we continued to paint on and on.
Aurélie's bust grew in beauty in the few hours she worked on her. Already a proud teacher I was really looking forward how far she can push her with her brush and my help. Metals still black, but atmosphere and skintone levels rising.



The second day was mainly painting, painting, painting and great chats about life in general once again. The special Massive Voodoo Studio painting flow was ever present and we both pushed our projects in the right atmosphere.


We started with the metals and painted on and on. Yes, we painted quite some hours in this two day coaching, but still half of the first day was mainly theory.


Aurélie's final result during the coaching


Thank you, Aurélie for trusting in me as a teacher and thanks for the really cool time we enjoyed together. I am pretty sure you paint on with the same high spirit of happy painting and continue to strive forward. Never stop to learn many new things and color will always be a good companion in your life :)

Aurélie & Roman
