anhoter MURAT completed

[ivopreda]

after a long period I've finished my Murat. It's the Metal Modeles figure non converted (strange for me)

Painting this figure i searched to have a chromatic effect with a series of earth - creme - yellowish tone balanced with only the green and the red of both hat (over the head and semi hided by the snow)

a great challenge was the painting of velvet green, really difficult because the velvet has different lights in comparison with other tissue







The settong are deep winter, the man is pale with some reddish noise and cheecks.

Fantastic. Just saw Jasons and this one is a beauty also. Well done. Love the horse.

Ivo,

The eyes are very intense! Beautiful work as usual.

BTW, the Leopard is outstanding.

Ivo,

What are the chances that we would both finish this figure and post photos on the same day?!?!?!? Nice job on this great figure. I like the color pallette you have chosen, especially the tones on the horse. Also, good job on the green coat. I think you have achieved the look of velvet. Congratulations on completing this challenging figure.

he's popular. I think he would like that
I would work a bit more on the eyes though.

Oke Guy's.

Ivo also a very good painting of Murat. If i have to make a choice between yours and Jason, well i can't make a choice.
Great work.

The horse is simply beautiful. And I like your "monochromatic" version of this figure.

Bravissimo! The Velvet is very realistic is it oils?
Looking forward to see it in 'life' form next week ... is it part of the Italian Nations Cup team : )

Hello

This remark was for Ivo's. Do you think I should add something to the eyes?
