Re: Emperor Hadrien (Art Girona)

That certianly is some very nice looking flesh! What kind of paint and colors are you using?

Very nice looking flesh tones.

I've always liked this figure, so I'm looking forward to see how it turns out for you.

For some reason I always imagined Hadrian having more of a salt n' pepper look on his beard and hair--but that's just me.
 
Re: Emperor Hadrien (Art Girona)

Thanks for your comments, my friends! ;)

For the colours I use for the face:
- first, I paint with acrylics GW or P3, making shadows and highlights. I use flesh tones (bronzed flesh, elf flesh, dwarf flesh, rin flesh but also some purple)..
- in second, I use oils making the transitions in small steps
I use LB colours (burnt sienna, golden ochre, white, flesh tint)
Rembrandt (burnt carmina) WN (rose madder genuine)​

I learnt painting with acrylics on 30 mm minis, so it's the reason I use acrylics for the face.
The hairs and beard are not finished; I used burnt umber.
It's my way of painting, I don't know if it's good :)
 
Excellent work on an equally excellent Laruccia sculpt!

I agree with the comment above that the cloak could use a bit more contrast. IMHO a bit of additional extreme highlighting would do the trick.

Cheers,
Adrian
