Painted the faces and headgear (less plumes). May go back over some areas, but pretty much done with these areas. In the distant pass, I used to paint the pupils and iris of the eyes separately in different colors. Now, I can barely put a dot of paint for the entire eye - not only harder to see, but don't have that kind of patience/skill anymore. Speaking of eyes, I read that Napoleon's eyes were grey, or grey-blue, from firsthand witness accounts. His hair was described as chestnut, also. Here's a link to the firsthand accounts of Napoleon.
Just a quick update - still waiting for the remodelers to finish our bathroom. One guy is scraping off caulking from the sinks that were removed from the counter top - which apparently the demo guys should've left attached. I'm learning a lot of things about home construction and remodeling - not by choice, but interesting to know. Thanks again for visiting and wishing you all the best.
Great! Really love your big scale figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal! I like painting these every now and then. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteOff to a great start, Dean! Paining the faces really sets the tone for painting the rest of the figure.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Jonathan. Yes, the face is usually the area given the most attention. Warmest regards, Dean
