Is there any wonder, Greeks being told what to do by British officers.

Great work, especially those decorative stripes on the vest are great shaded ...

Cheers Borek

Thank you Borek. Yellow is a difficult colour to shade so thanks for that.

I know that very well. When I was still trying to paint oil, yellow was like a nightmare for me ... That's why I like the way you paint it ...

Cheers Borek

If this helps, you or anyone else, I mixed Cadmium Yellow + Alizarin Crimson + Prussian Blue for my shading colour.

Thanks so much for your advice, even though I had only use acrylic. Other oil-boys will surely appreciate

Cheers

Haha, funny you should mention that. I went to Bedale Hall to cast my vote this morning and thought I might pop in the Black Swan for a swift half on the way home, seeing as we don't have a general election everyday but it wasn't open yet. I didn't fancy waiting in the rain so elected to go home and paint instead.
Things may well have turned out quite differently.
