Greetings Fellow Populace members and welcome to the fourth iteration of my paint-and-take class. In this class you will be able to try your hand at painting a 28mm historical miniature, themed to a planned discussion. This time around, we will be discussing peasant life during the middle ages, and the concept of a peasant levy in times of war. We will be painting the aptly named Peasant Levy from Wargames Atlantic, graciously provided by the same named company. All other materials needed are provided, and there is absolutely no fee to attend this class. Supplies are at hand to outfit 6 painting stations comfortably, with extra supplies allowing for many more attendees if brush-cleaning tubs are shared. No experience painting is necessary, as the object of the class is to have fun and play around with this style of painting while discussing history with fellow gentles. I will make myself available to help if you have questions or need assistance. You also need not participate in the discussion if you are so inclined, and I am happy to have people enjoy painting a miniature quietly if they need to get away from the bustle of the event. When done, please take your model home as a memento of the class.
