I am a prolific figure painter but I don't think even my friends would describe me as a "good" painter. Adequate, if they're feeling generous.
However, I've recruited a new member to our little group who has never wargamed (Kriegspiel at Sandhurst excepted) before. And he wants to paint.
Sensible chap has asked my advice on figure purchasing, undercoating, types of paint & brushes to use etc. Today, I even went over to see him with my swag of washes & demonstrated how to apply them.
I am a mentor!…..at least until he works out he could do better.
Poll topic:
Have you ever mentored anyone in figure painting?
1. Never. Highly unlikely anyone would ask if they saw my figures.
2. Occasionally. Glad to help a Newbie out.
3.Sometimes. Advice is free & I have experience from years of practice.
4.Constantly. I have a string of padawans who gladly sit at the feet of the master.
