The Art of: Volumes 16-18 Kickstarter
Es gibt wieder neue Bücher großer Hobbykünstler auf Kickstarter!
THE ART OF…
For more than 30 years I have spent a LOT of time talking with hundreds of artists who paint miniatures – for fun, for a living, for relaxation – and I am always intrigued to learn more about their philosophies, approaches, and processes. Some of these artists have spent decades refining their technical skills, while others bring their “traditional” art training to the miniatures world. Some draw inspiration from the most unusual of places, while others find it in popular culture turned on its head.
THE ART OF… series of books highlights fantastic miniatures artists from around the world, bringing their thoughts and passions to stand alongside their magnificent and inspirational work. We’ll be featuring both individuals and groups in this series, as we explore innovative approaches, studied refinements, and even tangential influences.
These books are a celebration of each artist and their art, as well as an opportunity for them to present their thoughts on particular topics and let the world know why they approach their art the way they do. These are not typically “How To” books, but rather complements to their existing outlets and work that the artists are already doing.
Following 2021’s, 2022’s, 2023’s, 2024’s, and 2025’s successful Kickstarter campaigns, this campaign continues to build on THE ART OF… series. With so many wonderful miniatures artists, there is so much potential to explore.

Volume 18 – THE ART OF… Anastasia Loukrezi
Anastasia Loukrezi, from Greece, started her artistic journey with photography. She has worked hard to develop a wonderful understanding of lighting and composition that she is now bringing to the forefront of her miniatures art. Composition, lighting, volume and hue are all ways Anastasia brings an incredible depth of emotion to her work. You can immediately see feelings like despair, elation, dread, and curiosity in her pieces.
Volume 18 will include:
• Lighting and Composition – Anastasia will lead us through the process of translating concepts of lighting and composition into our 3D pieces.
• Creating Immersive and Emotional Works – While there are no simple tricks to conveying emotion, there is often a shared visual language that can help us do so.
• Asking the Right Questions! – Understanding your art and guiding it towards your goals is a matter of constantly asking yourself (and others) the right questions.
