Aythami Alonso Weekend Workshop

We are excited and honored to welcome Aythami Alonso for his first ever workshop based in the United States!

How to Judge A Miniature

This workshop will focus on the importance of judging a miniature art piece, practicing each aspect of it and understanding what works and what doesn´t. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced painter, by the end of this course you will have the tools to put everything you've learned into practice on your own miniatures and start winning contests.

In the story section, we will focus on how to convey emotions and give the piece a bit of soul.
In the light section, we will practice all the techniques that allow us to give the piece a rich and interesting light that contributes to tell the story.
In the color section, we will start mixing from primaries, growing as painters in creativity with exercises of complementary, temperature and harmony.
