You have a style all your own, Brian, instantly recognizable. This one's a beauty. cheers Mary

Thank you all for your awesome support. One reason I took a break from painting was frustration. But on this figure I decided to just go for it, do my best and learn from the mistakes. Tony is right, less paint (and perhaps new brushes) are in order. As for the groundwork, Tony, you are so...

Hello all, Been away from painting for awhile, hope all my PF friends are well:) Tackled this fine Pegaso figure. Had quite a struggle with skin tones and smooth blending, but it was a great learning experience. Need lots more practice blending highlights and shadows on bare skin. I think I...

Hello all, Had a very busy few months learning Celtic fiddle and working on a CD of Irish ballads; it's a combination of covers and my own work with the Carlton Showband's Robert Benoit. In six months it's only half completed... I needed to take a break from figure painting as it felt like I was...

Really nice, Carl, one of your best yet(y) Mary

Hi Ben Aside from your stunning painting, what caught my eye was the water droplets coming off the horse's hooves...a terrific detail that really adds to the piece. This must be the showpiece of your collection. As someone who has done one of Pegaso's 90mm figures, I commend you for this...

Awesome! Mary

This one's going to be wonderful when you're done, Tony(y) Mary

Brian, as always, you don't disappoint. I've always looked to your work for inspiration for my own. This is a terrific piece with superb colours...(n) I think it's wonderful that those of us with eyesight issues on smaller figures still keep trying...for me, the 70mm work, but it's tougher on...

Awesome job, Paulo....I've always liked this figure and you've inspired me to try it(y) Mary

Colin, I think this is coming along beautifully! Kudos, my friend. The only thing that jumps out for me is the horse's legs...perhaps touch up where the grey meets the black so it doesn't look the same on all four. Grey horses sometimes have grey knees with black 'stockings' and the same on the...

A perfect piece, just beautiful. Love that chair! Mary

Thanks guys, for all your support...my painting is coming slow but sure... I'll post pics again when it's all done:D

Hi boys, Been away from the bench, lots going on this summer, but managed to get this fellow mostly completed. Still some work to finish, shield etc and touching up but he's coming along. I'm going to bump up the highlights; I find when I get a figure assembled I can really see where they need...
