Painting Workshop Marco Frisoni | 29 - 30 June 2024

About:

Hello, my name is Wouter Schaap and I’m the organiser of the miniature painting workshop by Marco Frisoni in Zeist, the Netherlands. For over 20 years I’ve been in the hobby, attended multiple workshops and since 2022 have hosted similar weekends with some of the best in the industry (Marc Masclans, Alfonso Giraldes, Arnau Lazaro and Ivan Hortal). Witnessing first hand the effect a professional can have on the way people learn and develop themselves. This drives me to this day to bring the best miniature painters from around the world to the Netherlands to share their knowledge.

Objectives of the course:

This will be a seminar, meaning a two day workshop with a small group of people. In this seminar we will work on technical, theoretical, and practical concepts about painting miniatures. The objective of the course is to learn from Marco's expansive knowledge of different techniques, and various art fields. Together you will deep dive into renaissance underpainting techniques using modern tools like Contrast Paints and Inks. All participants, no matter their level, will be able to attend. Take this opportunity to learn from one very creative mind in this industry. This seminar also aims to be a meeting point for enthusiasts of the hobby, to share a weekend of learning, enjoying the company of other modelers, and enhancing and expanding the ties of our community.

Content & program:

During the course we will work on the same figure, which is yet to be disclosed. Don't expect to go home with a finished piece by the end of the weekend however, this is not the goal. The focus is to learn a new approach and some new techniques. It's a sketch. Rather see it as a stepping stone for future works.
