If you’re a fellow miniature painter and you’re looking to ratchet your skill level a few notches you’ll want to get a peek at the new DVD release Masterworks Miniature Painting with Marike Reimer from the good folks at Dark Sword Miniatures. As you’ll notice in the description this four DVD set is for those who already have a firm grasp on the basics of painting but, as the incredible images of Marike’s work below (and on the product page) can attest, you can create some amazing effects if you only have the right skills. With over 13 hours of instruction there has to be something new for you to learn!
From Dark Sword:
As you all know, I have been a HUGE fan of any sort of painting tutorial sites or instruction I can get my hands on. And then over the past couple years or so, a few different DVD painting tutorials came out and I was over the moon. I then kept getting asked if Dark Sword will ever do their own DVD with our own miniatures and some of the painters we work with. It was indeed something I had been thinking about and I do have the extreme privilege to collaborate with some amazing miniature painters so we decided to put our money where our mouth is and film/produce a very comprehensive DVD set on miniature painting last year with Jen Haley and Anne Foerster. Marike Reimer was supposed to be part of that first DVD set as well but could not make the filming dates due to other commitments. So we decided to simply shoot another DVD set with just Marike getting her painting groove on. This is a great follow-up to the Jen and Anne DVD set as Marike dives right into the middle of the pool and gets down to slinging paint and guiding you through her approaches without spending a good deal of time on the basics of putting a mini together and priming it like we covered off on in the first DVD set.
Marike Reimer is one of the most talented painters in the world today as you can see from a sampling of her works in the images below. She has won Golden Demon Awards, taken Best in Show Privateer Press awards, Best in Show Gen Con Awards, Best in Show Salute Awards, and she also won Best in Show for the first ever CMON Crystal Brush Award where the best painters in the world gather to compete for a $10,000 cash first place prize.
Please note – this is a DVD set that will take you all the way from above a basic level of painting skill up to an advanced skill level. If you are new to this great hobby or want to make sure you have the proper foundational buildling blocks/knowledge in place, I would strongly recommend our Masterworks Miniature Painting with Jen Haley and Anne Foerster 3 DVD set (over 10 hours of instruction) to start things off.
