MINIATURE PAINTING WORKSHOP – 75mm Dwarf

TIME:
09. - 10.05.2026. 10-18h

PLACE:
Zagrebačka zajednica tehničke kulture, Trg žrtava fašizma 14, Zagreb

CONTENT:
The workshop will be held over two days (a whole weekend) and participants will paint a 75mm miniature dwarf. The focus of these lectures will be painting various textures – metal, human skin, textiles and leather. Water-based acrylic paints will be used during the workshop. For this purpose, the workshop leader, Ivan Knezović, chose a 75mm miniature dwarf from Durgin Paint Forge, sculpted by Carlos Perez Bugedo. The lectures will be adjusted so that the leader will devote equal time to all participants and will be able to adapt to all categories of miniaturists (from beginners to slightly more advanced).

The workshop will take place in the following way:
First, the lecturer sits at his desk and explains and demonstrates each step in painting a miniature/model on his specimen. His work is displayed on a screen via a camera and projector, which the participants listen to, watch, and ask questions about. Then, the participants sit at their desks and apply the acquired knowledge. The facilitator circulates between the participants and checks how each participant is doing. In this way, he can adapt to each participant individually. The workshop will include the following thematic units: 1. NMM (Non metallic metal) 2. Reflections of colors from the environment on metal 3. Steel / gold 4. Face painting (male) 5. Adding liveliness to the face (filters) 6. Extracting textures of fabric, metal and leather (leather)
