One of the events I did was a one hour Paint And Take thing where they gave us a miniature with a base coat, some supplies, and someone to explain a few techniques and otherwise be enthusiastic and friendly while we blobbed paint around. It was a free event, though they did have tickets as a demand management thing, so they’d seat all of the ticket holders first, then fill the spaces with anyone around who was interested.
I’d thought I’d done a pretty good job, and I’m very happy with the results, but once I zoomed in on those photos I saw how clean the lines aren’t.
For reference, this is probably what it’s supposed to look like.
This was fun, and oddly relaxing. Just sitting there, idly chatting with people if a conversation broke out ( the ‘instructor’ kept up a flow of relaxed chat, about painting & conventions & games in general ), having a go at a new thing.
I’d do this again.
