Teaching Methods
Some words from Alex... "I like to teach in a hands on way, I demonstrate the design and techniques by painting a model and get students to join is as they understand how the process works in a very hands on workshop. So the finished piece is something we have all created. You are of course welcome to observe only should you prefer, or you may wish to bring your own model and test drive your skills with plenty of advice creating your design, alongside mine, on your own model. When I work I use a range of techniques covering a mixture of Airbrush, sponge and stencil techniques , so if you are not experienced in airbrushing (or don’t have the equipment) then don’t fear as I’ll show you simple and smart ways of using the airbrush !
