Painting Community
Tuesday in even weeks
19.00h - 22.30h
Ravellaan 13, Utrecht
Free
Bring the project you're working on, grab a spot at the table and paint (and chat) at your own pace. We've got lamps, palettes, brushes and paint if needed. But feel free to bring your own stuff. We also have coffee, tea and (often) cookies and snacks. Just a bunch of fellow miniature painters having a fun evening together.
Why we started our community
From Axel | Miniature painting is more than just a hobby. For many of us, it’s a few quiet hours where the rest of the world can fade into the background. A chance to slow down, get lost in a project, and enjoy creating something nice and beautiful. We wanted to create a space where we can do exactly that together, so every second Tuesday we open the Studio for an evening of painting.
There are no lessons (although our teachers always tend to have an opinion and advice on everything), no membership fees and no expectations. Just a bunch of people who enjoy miniature painting and want to spend an evening together.
Bring whatever project you’re working on, grab a spot at the table and paint at your own pace. We chat, share tips, listen to music and occasionally get far too invested in discussing which shade of brown is actually the right brown.
Lots of people discover miniature painting as a mindful way to take a break from the hardships and noise of everyday life. If you’re looking for a few hours to escape, relax and work on something alongside like-minded people, you’re very welcome to join.
No experience needed and no need to know anyone beforehand. Just bring a miniature and come paint with us.

Never been before?
That's completely fine!
Coming somewhere for the first time when you don't know anyone can feel a little awkward. We've all been there and we'll try our best to make you feel welcome! We're all nerds, so you'll probably fit right in anyways ;).
Just bring a miniature, grab a seat and start painting! You can chat, ask for advice, or simply put your headphones on and paint for a few hours.

Not sure? You're also welcome to have a coffee at the workshop to meet Axel (and maybe Wouter) first. Or join the whatsapp group and get acquainted there first.
What do I bring?
Bring your miniature
Whatever you're working on! Whether it's a full army, a bust or terrain, anything is welcome. And if you're in a rush and didn't get a chance to grab your mini(s), you can paint one of our community projects.
Bring your tools
Most people bring their own paints, brushes and wet palettes. But we also have all the tools here if you show up naked. Paint, brushes, palettes, lamps, all available.
We've got the rest
We have painting lamps and other equipment available, along with coffee, tea and snacks. Not a must, but if you feel like it, bring some extra snacks to feed to your fellow painters ;).
Don't have everything yet? No problem at all. You can use the Studio equipment.
