A Fixture
Another period in history I don't know that much about apart from the basics of the northern states of America fighting southern states over slavery.
I saw this 200mm La Meridiana Miniatures bust on the El Greco website and liked it so this will be my start into that war, this one was on the Confederate (South) side.
Moulding is lovely and crisp with just the normal pouring block cleanup and minimal cleaning up of the seam at the rear of the body. Just two parts, body with head attached and then just a fairly thin double cord from the top rear of the head cover, what ever it might be called, to the tassel on the shoulder, this is quite brittle and requires careful cleaning up of a bit of flash.

All cleaned up, washed and primed.

So I'm away, eyes first in acrylics then the rest of the face in Artist's oils.
