Hendryk,
From memory I used a base of Cobalt Blue, Titanium white, Indigo, Raw umber and a little cadmiun orange to subdue the brightness of the blue. Shading was more of the raw umber and blue black. highlights more white and a little yellow ochre to the base.
Excellent painting as usual David. Love the flesh tones and the blue colour. The 70mm Franco-Prussian War figures Derek Hansen did for Poste Militaire were fantastic - I plan to paint one soon.
What an amazing job, David! Love the flesh tones and especially the blues on the uniform. I agree with Eduardo, beautiful work on a classic figure. Look forward to seeing more!
