"The way he tackles miniature painting is unlike any other painter I've encountered. Everything he does is informed and it's helpful for a painter like me who always wants reasoning for every decision. Despite that, he still allows himself artistic license to create beautiful pieces. Benjamin cared deeply about the contents of this course and creating a top education experience for people and it was truly a joy to work with him on this project."

Hands down best OSL tutorial for painters who want to know what their doing

Ben's Witch class is hands down the best lighting and OSL tutorial I've seen. And I've seen all of them. No fluff. No gimmicks. Very objective "Hey this is how stuff works. This is how you paint it."

YouTube videos and recipes always oversimplify and never explain how light or values work. You're locked into that recipe and it's incredibly difficult to modify or improve upon them without that foundational knowledge. This series doesn't make that mistake.

It kicks off with fantastic and surprisingly short lessons on how to light a scene with great examples before applying that information to the witch. Then it jumps right into painting light and values onto the model in a series of direct and easy to follow steps. This isn't a color-by-numbers tutorial. Ben is teaching you how to paint light and shadow on the model, giving you the knowledge and tools to do it yourself, and letting you look over his shoulder while he demonstrates every step of the process.

If you want to learn how to paint OSL on a model, any model, get this class.
