Hi all,

Tomorrow we'll be interviewing Borja for Culture of Paint.

If you've any questions you'd like to ask him about his amazing Sylvaneth piece then please ask in the comments. I can't promise we'll get through all of them, but I'll be sure to pick some to out to him.

Cheers, Henry

Could you ask him how is he such a "pedorro"? Please and thank you 🖤

Matt Blight

Hi Guys please can you ask the following The tree structure heavily resembles a traditional bonsai tree, complete with delicate cherry blossoms. Was Japanese bonsai art or a specific real-world tree a direct inspiration for the dramatic framing of the Sylvaneth miniature? Also what are your favourite crisps?

Jordan Taylor

Was it a flash of inspiration or a result of tinkering about with the model? Also, can I have it?

Terry Pike

Mines not so much a question, but just more a comment on the model. I thought it was a a complete scratch sculpt, I had no idea it was converted! Clearly beautifully done 👌🏻

JSC_MINIS

Kind of similar to Jordan’s question, but I feel like the grove guardian model went under the radar, so what inspired him to actually pick up the model and go all the way with it? Thanks guys!

Sam (Wonderboy)

It's an obvious question but always interesting to hear if he would do anything differently based on feedback from other painters/judges or just based in his own thoughts

Any tips on how to grow as a painter when you are in a country where there is no culture of miniature painting or community

Is there extra pressure to produce winning pieces after getting a slayer sword? Or is the opposite true, and there’s no pressure after being on top?

Jonathan Rees

I’d be interested to know how he keeps motivation when working on this mega project - at some stages you’d imaging you would get bored or tired or frustrated working on something at such a high standard

Which of your pieces felt like the turning point in your painting journey? Was there a point of starting to think about how you paint models in what’s now your style?

Aaron Reynolds

I'm sure you'll get into it, but any detailed insight on the conversion is always fascinating to me. Also would love to know more specifics about those fabulous leaves!

Paul Arnold

What sparked the idea or inspiration for this beautiful piece? And what qualities does Borja look for in miniatures when planning a project? Excited for the pod! ❤️

Max Herngren

I’d be curious to hear him talk about his experience working in a more painterly and impressionistic style within the context of GD which is generally associated with highly technical painting. Cheers.
