Just wanted to say a big thank you to Alfonso for an awesome weekend, I thought I’d write a short review for anyone thinking about taking one of Banshees workshops in the future.

Well … what can I say that would describe this weekend with any justice.. I can’t really do this will have to do, it was one of the most intense and enjoyable weekends I’ve had in a very long time. From meeting the man himself to the in depth knowledge he throws out for almost 24 hours across the weekend.

I found myself intrigued by everything Alfonso had to say, this was no accident, I wasn’t just intrigued from my own drive for this art but because he is one of the best teachers I have ever sat In front of. Someone once told me that the most valuable things you can give anyone are time and knowledge, Alfonso gives these in abundance.

I left the weekend feeling full , full of Knowledge full of inspiration full of drive and most importantly a knew way of looking about things, able to analyse and digest miniatures in a better way with a better knowledge of colour theory and also the history of the art of miniature painting. I would say it’s a necessity for any budding miniature painter to do and I certainly can’t wait to attend future Banshee workshops.
