That's indeed a real beauty my good friend. Lovely greens and flesh tones.

Hi Marc,
A Beautiful job.
I second Rogers' request for the secret of your mix for the greens please.
I have 2 Napoleonic busts on the go which require green.

Thanks alot guys.
My mix for the greens: It's all for oilpaint.

As base I used van Gogh Pine Green (654).
Then I started highlighting with van Gogh Cadmium Yellow.
Shading with van Gogh Cadmium Red.
When dry I started only the highlighting again with a mix from Cadmium Yellow and Pine Green but lighter then the first.
Then only into the deepest shades cadmium red + Pine Green + a little touch Sepia.
