Monte San Savino Show 2015

We are just back from this great Italian event wich was in the beautiful Tuscany, in an old historical town. We have taken more then 1000 pictures, visited Florence and Siena too. So it also was a modeler and art adventure.
In short: this is a clear event “only” for figure painters and sculptors, so this is unique. Fill an exhibition and a medieval building with figures is a hard job – this guys made it in 10th time. We congratulation to the organizators, well done! We loved the place and will go back!

Some pictures:

Of course there was some short courses too. Here Roman Lappat was painting a big bust and show how we can paint “a light of a fire where many goblins are burning” 🙂

Back from SMC 2015

We are just back from Eindhoven. Unfortunately about the competition we haven’t pictures (you can find more by other participants on Facebook). By the way the show was excellent and we have the best weather for small trips to Rotterdam and on the home journey to NĂĽrnberg. From some good reference pictures we will post later.

Here are some links where you can watch pictures about the contest (now, or later):
