Painting Competitions are Subjective, Make Them Showcases Instead -- Kris Belleau
Show Notes

Kris has been in this hobby since the late 1980s thanks to some of his older cousins and the first edition of Space Hulk. Ever since that first game, he's been painting and hobbing almost exclusively with Warhammer miniatures and games. Kris ended up working for Miniwargaing during the 2010s as the painting instructor for their content creation team which really launched his career as an educator in the miniature painting hobby.

Miniatures and miniature painting have been a huge part of his hobby, and canvas painting has been a massive part of Kris' art. We have a great discussion about Kris' perspective on miniatures and art, and whether or not miniatures can be art that stands the test of time or not.

We also dive into what it means to be a full-time miniature painting educator and what impact that has on Kirs' ability to improve and develop his own skills.
