From Axel:
Over the past years I have learned a lot about miniature painting. I love this hobby (and job) and wanted to pass some of my knowledge on to others, hopefully igniting their passion for this wonderful hobby.
Therefore, I started to give painting classes. Some private, some for and with friends and some at big events throughout the Netherlands and Germany. ALL of them resulted in great fun and it gave me great satisfaction to pass on some of my knowledge and (maybe most important) information about all the mistakes I made during my painting career.
I myself have not stopped to learn and improve. I've had the privilege to learn from some of the world's greatest miniature painters like Arnau Lazaro or Ivan Hortal. And I know how much one can learn from a motivated and enthousiastic teacher.
​
I would love to welcome you at one of our workshops to dive together into the great and amazing hobby of miniature painting. Hope to see you soon!
