This 90 minute virtual workshop will give you the POWER to create awesome blends on your miniatures using a variety of techniques. If you want to up your game when blending power swords or capes, or if the prospect of blending paint without the use of an airbrush feels daunting–then this workshop is for you.

The workshop requires that you have your own tools and paints. The demo painting will be done on a Space Marine Captain (specifically focusing on that power sword) using a suggested list of paints and tools, but you may use any miniature and tools that you prefer.

What the workshop will cover:

• What is blending?

• The properties of paints: opacity, mixtures, and pigment density

• “Wet blending”

• Glazing

• Stippling

Total Time: 90 minutes

Admission: $20. Waystone members receive a 20% discount at checkout.
