This class exists as a stand-alone session, or forms class number eight in the level two series. Beginners are welcome to join this class, however in all cases, it is highly recommended that you have prior knowledge of, and are able to flat lay your base colours.
During this class you will learn how to construct miniature geometries and use the intricate designs to draw attention to the windows and doors of your miniature painting.
