Uniform started. Kharki drill is very hard to paint without making it too monochrome. I've tried to incorporate subtle greens into the mix will keep pushing it.

 

[Briggsy]

Perhaps a tad too green at the moment but we'll painted nonetheless.

Cheers Simon

 

[Michael Parkinson]

Its Photographing a Bit greener but Yea I will tone it down I think Cheers!

 

[Michael Parkinson]

Pushed it away from the green a little, will carry on refining now.

Of course happy too!

I used a base coat of Humbol enamel 72
Then I tint with oils

Mix was:
WN blue black
WN mars Yellow
WN raw umber
A titanium white
And to lighten without desaturating Michael Harding colour called unbleached titanium dioxide.

Hope helps

Hi Michael,
Thought I recognised the 'female bust' in your Avatar....maybe I could get to see the bust figure exhibited here at the September FMMG meeting? It really does look a nice and crisp paintwork job.
Hope to see you soon,
Kim

Thankyou Kim I'm waiting on Malcolm C to get me a particular oil paint for the Brodie. I'll certainly bring it once finished. See you at the next meeting
