It is really enjoyable to follow the sbs photos. I am particularly impressed by the dapple effect of the horse. Did you use airbrush or paint brush ? Your advice how to achieve it is highly appreciated. Thanks

no, everithing is done using the brush, it's a wet on wet technique using oils. Go throught the post to see how i did it

thanks for the kind words

Thanks for the advice.

Very convincing leoprd skin and that's something that is very frequently missed, even by good painters.

Ivor ,
What an amazing amount of work amd detail you have put into this ...great fun to ee this progress from virtually nothing ...your love of Napoleonic shines through .

Its going to be a stunning pieceto see when completed ..the horse colouring is great and as is the leopard skin .

If I may ask how are you doing the golds ...is it metallics or NMM ?

Thanks for posting

Very pleasant piece of work!! With much Class I just think you should paint some more lights on the green jacket.

I think, Gericault himself, would be proud of your version.
