Brunswick or Rifle Green?

Hi Folks

What do you think is the best option out there for painting Napoleonic figures in Brunswick or Rifle Green??

I generally work with enamels.

Any advice??

A dark blue with an ochre or flesh colour might give you a good basic mix. Shade by adding black, highlight with more flesh or flesh + a dot of added white.

I'm thinking of a realistic, quite dull, colour; if your taste runs to brighter colours use yellow instead of ochre/flesh. Highlight with yellow + white. Probably still get away with shadowing using black only but you might prefer blue + black.

Hi and thanks.

I will give it a go, and try some experimenting with the colours you recommend.
