Painting Class Instructor and Suggestions

[Nathan Caroland]

Alrighty, so I'm thinking about bringing back something that we did way back at the start of Wyrd and essentially looking to bring back the 'online' painting class where an instructor who has the time and inclination will take some folks through the steps to painting a particular style, basing a certain way or sculpting something in particular.

Klute did this initially and I think it went over well, even if I didn't manage to finish up mine due to time.

Anyone interested in doing something along these lines? Would have to be an instructor(s) who has time, skill, patience and is willing to take the time to basically do a full tutorial and then walk students through it step by step and offer honest critique and direction.

If interested, please holler out here or in a PM. What do you get out of it, well goodies of course. By helping to build the Wyrd community and interaction here on the site I am of course very happy to offer up free metal. Multiple individuals are welcome.

Got suggestions or requests, good as any place to make them as well.

First, not that I am a great painter, but I would be willing to give it a try, especially if one of the really talented painters in the judging realm, (past or present) were to give a guest critique here or there. ( or at least for the class instructor )
Second, it might go better in tutorials, where it is not competing with IP news.
Third, it would be helpful to know how people would like the details to be. Class once a week, every two weeks, move at your own rate, etc

any more ideas or comments ( if you are tempted to say, " What the hell could he teach anyone? " please just pm it to me... )

I would be interested in doing something like this, but I won't have time for it for quite some time. Maybe after the summer or something like that. I would, however, not mind at all to support any other instructor with "guest critique", like LavronYor suggested.

Yep, your one of the best for guest critique ;)

Im in, but for following along not giving steps. But most likely to busy for a few weeks from now, but I suppose thats how long it could take to sort it all out and get started. Plus, we could do Wyrd minis! Get some of my wyrd collection painted up lol

Thats a great idea. If I were a better painter I would offer help, as it is I would like to participate.

[LavronYor]

First, I guess that I should clarify. I am willing to be an instructor, and as I said, not because I think that I am so good, but because I realize that many better painters probably don't have the time to commit to such a project. I certainly won't mind sharing the responsibility with a co-instructor and or guest instructors. I suppose that I would be more comfortable instructing if people realize that I will be targeting the intermediate range of painters. I certainly wouldn't mind painters better than myself participating ( especially if painters like Anders can help with the critiquing of intermediate to advanced painters, like Barry and other Iron Painters ;-) )

I'd be interested, but like Ritual have time issues and wouldn't be available for something like this until September. Also probably the thing I'm best at is skin, which Klute already covered, though I have a different method. Though I could throw in hair to add a little something new, I think I'm getting pretty good at hair.

I always thought it would sound fun, and there are a few ideas I bet I could do...but it comes down to the time issue with me unfortunately, I always think I have more than I really have :(

For me I probably can't commit until I have a different work situation...which isn't really even on the horizon :(

I would definatley sign up as a pupil, sounds great!!
