Beginners Painting Class (international) Infosheet by Roman Lappat aka Jarhead

The workshop´s basic aim is an introduction to options for a fast high-quality painting of

gaming-miniatures in connection with knowlegde of art-history and its application.

Furthermore to improve your own perspective and feeling for colours and harmony in theory

and exercise.

The class is for beginners, advanced painters and experts as it gives an Introduction in my

way of working and thinking in theory and practical work and describtions. Everyone takes

what he likes due his own experience of painting. Roman will make sure that every

participant will be guided and taken by the hand to get precise feedback and solutions for his

actual level of experience.

Roman has finished a lot of gaming- and display miniatures over the last few years, with the

basic idea to have them look good on the table, but of course some them breached the frontier

between basic (for gaming) and high-quality painting for contests where he has been highly

awarded during the last years. While painting this mass of minatures and being confronted

with their variety he earned a lot of experience which he now wants to share with you.

Roman’s apprenticeship in becoming a teacher helps making this class a well structured,

maximum learn effect orientated event.

Furthermore there will be a an individual mentoring for each participant accordingly to his

level of proficiency: beginner, advanced learner, professional as described above.

Here you find a gallery with some of Roman’s painted minatures:

The miniature will be a „Deamonette of Slaneesh“ by Games Workshop in 28 mm – it´s

happy painting he is teaching.

4. Information for housing and victuals

4.1 Housing

Everybody has to take care by himself for this point. We would recommend to coordinate

with other participants. Often it is possible to stay with other painters from the area.

Hotel near Fontenay le fleury

Please ask if you need help. Hotel in Versailles Train station “VERSAILLES CHANTIER”

will allow you to take the train to come. Other can be either in Saint Cyr l’école, or Fontenay

le fleury directly.

2 or 3 people form our team will come by car and can eventually pick you at your hotel only

if it is in the recommended area above (Versailles, Saint Cyr l’école and Fontenay le fleury)

Please find at the end the email list for the participants, so you can also ask of some can find

you a place to spleep.

4.2 Victuals

We will not provide anything in this case. Please take care about this by yourself. It´s not a

problem to bring your own food/drinks or to organize something at the beginning of the

painting class (everybody has to pay himself). So please take care to have enough food with

you on Friday. Saturday we will hunt food together during the class and the planned breaks.

If we order something to eat or go out for a drink at the evening, please take care to have

enough money with you. We won’t eat expensive most of the time.
