Alright, my apologies I’ve just spotted this forum topic. I attended Marco’s workshop. I’ll give a breakdown.

I booked as soon as I was notified. I think the course sold out in 2 hours. You just don’t get many chances at these.

2 day course at which we were all provided with a miniature. We brought our own materials. There had been a problem shipping minis between UK and Ireland which ultimately meant we assembled them.

Marco’s topics are so wide there’s not much chance of going through everything. The course began with a talk about colour theory and contrast. After that we spent the rest of the first day planning our scheme for the mini and painting it with a grey scale to mimic the light value. The second day was tinting with colour. All done with a brush over a black primed model.

Marco was free to discuss any topics as well as course content.

I’m very glad I went. I learned a lot about glazing and the benefit of planning and taking my time over a grey scale. This also reinforced the benefit of not just doing a quick black and white zenithal but going back with the brush to improve the contrast and detail.

I’ll attach pics.
