I have severe mental health problems they are a danger to me not to others my miniature painting is of no quality but it is a light in a dark place and looking what others create can make that light even brighter you can feel real warmth in that glow when you look at a painted miniature . Thanks Roman for showing people they are not on their own , a life can be saved or changed with a single conversation . Regards Gav.
Thank you for your honesty and the really appreciated comment. This is what Miniature Painting shall be all about in the first place. Glad that you are here at this channel!
This was my first time in Monte San Savino, and I enjoyed the event so much, despite I was nervous and intimidated by such a great display of masterpieces made by incredibly talented and famous artists, like you Roman! I would have loved to talk with you and thank you for all these years of constant inspiration, but I was too shy to bother you, and not confident in my broken English! The thing I treasure the most, from my first Monte San Savino, is the amount of passion and inspiration that I was able to see in front of my eyes, I was overwhelmed by admiration and joy in seeing in real the miniatures painted by my favorite artists. I feared that my little Dwarfs could be unnoticed, in the middle of so many gorgeous displays, but in the end I'm really happy to be part of this event and I can't wait to be there once again in the next year! Thank you for this video, Roman, you are not only a great artist but also a great inspiration for all of us :)
That was cool. Honestly, I’ve never heard of that competition before. That really doesn’t mean much though. I only got into this hobby somewhere around 4 years ago. I’ve been a “artist” for almost my whole life but for the most of it I’ve almost always stayed away from color in my art. And on the rare occasions that I did add color it was in a very small area of the drawing!!! I don’t think I would ever do one of those competitions!!! I know some people love to say “failure isn’t a set back” or “ you learn more from failure than you do from success”!?! But I think that’s only works if at least some times you don’t fail! Because yes, failing could be a good teacher. But always failing is just a teacher that keeps telling you that you failed but never tells you how to fix it or improve! So if that’s all I………… never mind… anyways, I do know that I am slowly improving and to the average person that can’t do any of this stuff my work looks great! But I constantly fall in that “but they are way better than me” hole and can’t find my way out for a long time! I do love your work that I’ve seen so far and I really wish I learned about all of this way way earlier in my life!!! Kinda late now…… Especially if you are a firm believer in “talent takes time”!?! Anyways, I can’t wait to see more of your work! I’m going to check out more of your videos!!!
Best part of this video for me was watching remembering to have fun and to stop judging myself all the time, found you by watch scott the minaic, I like your thought process
I’m in a different trade, but I really like that you are taking the specific time to explain the mental roller coaster of competitions, so that new people can ease through strong emotions when they happen. I think if strong feelings like this catch you unprepared, you can take them too seriously for a time. It also sounded a bit like summer camp. I like your channel, massive voodoo or otherwise. I really like your composition videos, you make multi figure dioramas amazingly.
Wonderful insight for anyone looking to attend any miniature painting competition for the first time or to remind returning painters those jitters are still normal and part of the process!!
Beautiful video. As someone who has never competed Monte looks beautiful, wholesome, and terrifying. As someone in the US Monte feels like it might as well be planets away. It is somewhere I would very much like to be one day. I will start competing at Reapercon next year. I always love your videos that have a lens of mental health. I have medication-resistant major depressive disorder and painting is very important to me on many different levels. There is so much heart in this
@@Obesebot do you get the 'painter's high'? That is what I call it. Being that focused on a creative project really keeps the depression spiral from grabbing me. I'm so focused on my work that when I'm finished I've had a break from all the crap inside my head that I get this wonderful relaxing high sort feeling. I cherish those peaceful moments when everything fades into the background. This is such a wonderful hobby with some really amazing people
Here in New Zealand, there's no real miniature painting community- I've met people in the broader miniature hobby, but they're all more gamers; as painters we don't have a real space or any proper contests (and bringing my effort to the local gamestore with 5 entries and a 20 dollar gift voucher prize feels a bit overkill) so I live vicariously through online communities instead. Someday I'd love to visit an event like this, but I feel a lot of online creators coverage ends up unintentionally almost over hyping or mythologizing them, but this video and your emotional focus felt real and tangible in a way few others capture.
I always try to capture the real thing. Thanks that you find it in my creations. Every community needs to start somewhere, may it be as small as it cam get, but without a first step it is not allowed to grow ... All the best wishes to New Zealand!
Very beautiful video, Roman 🙌 As a firsttimer in Monte I really soaked up the mood of and at this event. This was really special compared to other miniature painting contests. Everyone is so excited and so "open" to make new friends. Glad that I finally made it there (the medals were the cherries on top) and you know that you were and are a part of that. Keep on happy painting 🙏
I never comment on videos but this one really hit home. I go all out in GW’s Armies on Parade. I know it’s no where to the level of Golden Demon or other miniature competitions but it’s all we have in my local area. Being told the day after the competition that “you had the best entry but you’re not eligible to win because you won the previous year” is nothing but devastating and frustrating after you have poured your energy and time that entire year. Thank you for making me feel like I’m not alone. You’re always an inspiration to this community keep up the great work!
I always love how personal you make your videos. I really enjoy hearing about all the feelings and emotions that go into the miniature painting hobby and how it affects you. Thank you for always sharing a part of yourself in your videos. It is inspiring
Really great video and perspective thank you for sharing. I am kicking myself for not going to monte when i was offered a room. Really had to dig deep and realise the bigger picture of having "more important" stuff to focus on this year. But i know within me that surrounding myself with "my people" woild have done my mental health the world of good! This ywar has been both the best year of my life with amazing achievements, rewards and highs. With that it has also been one of the hardest, ive fought through this year and althoigh its all been worth it im mentally and physically exhausted. Need an event like this to recharge and give me that boost to paint and stive for more.
Thanks for sharing, Roman. Very recognisable, especially from my earlier years on the model scene. Rather less of an issue in the last decade or so - older and wiser I guess, and better able to let go, and enjoy all the good. Not been to Monte yet, but SMC was great again.
I went through something like this very recently. There was a large painting competition at a convention that I was playing. I haven't won awards in the past, but I've been complimented on some of my models before and I decided to submit some. I didn't place and I didn't win with what I submitted, for a brief second it made me feel like my miniatures "weren't good enough". However, after it was also done, I also took the time to have the self-reflection and realize that I am someone who paints miniatures to play with them. At the end of the day, my miniatures will go on their base and I will play with them. They'll never end up on a plinth with a background or anything. I think there's something to say with managing expectations before a competition like that and to assess the goals of entering. If you enter pieces with the idea of betterment and feedback, regardless of if you place or not, you'll be able to meet that goal.
@@LiveforHM Agreed. I think miniature painting is one of those unique art forms where even some of the greatest painters are always acknowledging that there's something they can improve on or grow from. I think it also allowed me the opportunity to reflect and tell myself that at the end of the day there are some miniatures that I am just genuinely painting to play with, and whatever quality that I find them in, it's satisfactory enough for me and it shouldn't matter to anything else 🤘
Thank you for yet another valuable insight. I am local to a painter who has won many Golden Demons and Crystal Brushes in the past, and he can be easily swept up in the emotions of a show. I do my best to limit harsh introspection during these times, but its always difficult- we are only human after all. I hope one day to see you at a USA show again. It is good to see you doing well and painting happily 😊
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and all the impressions from MSS! One year I will go there and it will be a challenge and an adventure. So far I'm only used to online competitions. It's rather "easy" to participate in there, I think... By the photos one submits you can decide the best viewing angle for the project and only show all the good sides. I never thought much about how it might be to go to a real competition. Now I'm curious about all the emotions laying ahead of me! Your videos always give me new perspectives and thoughts!!
very cool video! I always encourage people to go to the competitions for the crowd you can meet and not for the prizes (also, afterparty :p). It was nice to see more of Monte, hope that I'll finally attend next year.
Vielen lieben Dank Roman für dieses super Video. Ich denke es spricht vielen Künstlerinnen und Künstlern aus der Seele 👍🏼. Finde es einfach super wie klar und natürlich du diese Thematik in dem Video dargestellt hast 🙏🏽 vielen Dank dafür.
Amazing video. Your insights speak to me in a way no other painter does. I do suffer from depression and attention deficit. Painting helps me learn to concentrate for extended periods. I have never won a painting competition....yet, but there's alway next time....right?
The only in-person competition I have taken part in was Thurnderbrush in Cape Town & it was an awesome experience, but I did feel like the odd man out, as I enjoy scale modelling & my figure painting was nothing special compared to the other entries.
Thanks for the amazing video, Roman. It resonates really strongly with my experiences entering painting competitions (particularly Thunderbrush, earlier this year). We have very few opportunities in South Africa, so each one is special and significant and has really intense emotion associated with it. I do have a question, though. I don't come from an art background, just a self-taught hobbyist, and have struggled with critical feedback post-competition. How does one deal with that, once you've put in all of that effort and emotion, and have to deal with potentially harsh feedback about what was done wrong? I understand that one should learn from feedback, and I try to in a day-to-day setting. It just feels like it stings when delivered by a competition judge. I'd love to hear your perspective on receiving and accepting critique for painters that don't come from an art background (where this is normalised).
Mike, thanks for your comment. Glad you like the video. Well, I do hope my feedback at Thunderbrush was not too harsh. Such feedback can be devastating I know what you mean. I learned several things about feedback: If it is feedback on technical aspects where skills can be improved I can take what I want from it and use it to improve. I am grateful for it as someone took his time to take a proper look on the craftmanship of things. Important is to know that still it is you who can decide what to use from such a feedback or not. If I would have taken all the feedback I have heard after a miniature show and used it I would not paint in my own way anymore. Being grateful and doing nutpicking for yourself is the best thing to deal with constructive feedback. If it is a very emotional piece I allow myself to say that I do not need someone's feedback on it. Just no. It does not need to be judged. I had some really interesting talks with artists at the Monte San Savino Show who also stated this. If it is a very personal project feedback or judging is not needed. It is more about exhibtion.
Thanks @@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART, that helps a lot actually! If I'm being honest, I think it's some thing I clearly need to get better at. I was super motivated to paint and push my painting after thunderbrush, and am looking forward to the next one. I appreciate you taking the time to respond and thanks for making the video. 🙏
As a Modeller who just won a "best of" award and also got told my painting skill were not in line with the skill placement of the same event. Im an armour modeller and ive been doing since 12 or 13 and im in my 30s, Its hard to explain how terrible it is to constantly hear just " your work is great" "wow this is amazing" sometimes... I felt my skills decline because I had that im going to win a gold with my less then the best effort because my skill level hasnt peak but wasnt being forced to improve either. And needing something to keep the Skill improving. Warhammer is my "relaxation" from competitive models. Different color plattes and Fun projects
Ich grüße dich! Ich bin recht neu in dem Hobby und habe dich gestern entdeckt. Ein riesengroßes Lob an deine Arbeit und deine Videos.. Inspiration in Reinform ! Ich hätte eine kleine Frage, ich habe mir einen Koffer mit Vallejo Modelcolor bestellt. 72 Farben und ich würde gerne wissen, kannst du sie empfehlen? :)
Hey! Willkommen und viel Spaß auf meinem Channel. Die Vallejo Model Color Farben sind gut, ja. Das ist mit Farben sehr eigen in unserer Figurenwelt. Das meiste sind Acrylfarben und verschiedene Hersteller lassen sie in der gleichen Farbfarbrik herstellen und abfüllen, mischen nur manchmal dann ihre spezial Sache mit rein, wie Matt Medium, Fließmedium, etc. Somit sage ich meist, dass es eher persönlicher Geschmack ist, mit welchen Farben Du gut klar kommst. Ausprobieren und manchmal eine neue ausprobieren, nicht gleich einen ganzen Koffer und sehen was einem liegt. Happy Painting!
Woah this is such a good video Roman! As a first timer at MSS I experienced all of the emotions and more, being able to get a medal to was such an amazing feeling and I'm so excited for the next year.. also nice to see myself screaming that I'm a believer in this video and after that weekend I can reinforce that I am a believer of what Monte is.. loved every minute of it and this video, keep doing what your doing. You're a gem!
The subjective nature of painting competitions is why I no longer enter. One year I get a silver and the next, with what I believe were stronger pieces, I didn't even get a commended. I know I am not a great painter and I am certainly not creative and paint simply for the joy of producing a result I like. There are more than enough mechanisms to display ones work to others without the 'need' to do so at competitions. In the end, competition is only for those who have the need or desire to put their work up for comparison against others and/or those who have the need or desire to be recognised for their achievements.
I have severe mental health problems they are a danger to me not to others my miniature painting is of no quality but it is a light in a dark place and looking what others create can make that light even brighter you can feel real warmth in that glow when you look at a painted miniature .

“Nothing wrong with being exhausted” 10:19
Love this on many levels.
So important
Great video with deep information! No „general“ bullsh**t ☺️
Love This kind of video. And the Alps! Lovely!
Best part of this video for me was watching remembering to have fun and to stop judging myself all the time, found you by watch scott the minaic, I like your thought process

@@Ohf_lines I do, I think it comes from being Hyper focused and sub consciously controlling your breathing. Its very similar to Meditation.
