February Down

I didn’t get much done this month. I’ve been dealing with some personal stuff and haven’t had a lot of painting time.

I did get a little painting done. I painted the Bones Dire Crab by Reaper Miniatures with 5 colors.

I did however start some different kind of painting. I have started to do some landscapes following along with Bob Ross videos on YouTube. I’ve done 3 so far. I’m very happy with the first two.

The big difference between mine and the videos are that I’m using acrylic paints instead of oils. I am practicing to eventually make them much smaller and do miniature paintings. These are on a mixed media paper. I have bought some roughtly 2 inch by 3 inch canvases to scale it down. I hope to scale it down even further.

My ultimate plans are to make diorama backgrounds and small paintings for dioramas. I may sell these if there is enough interest.

I am going to get back to mini painting, hopefully, this weekend. I’ve got some things I want to finish by the end of next month.

I won’t get much personal painting done the weekend of March 5th through the 7th. I am “attending” the Reaper Virtual Expo. There are tons of FREE classes to watch and/or follow along with.

You can check out what classes are available at the Reaper Virtual Expo site. There’s also lots of other fun stuff like painting contests.

That’s all for now. As always, happy painting.
