Completed Errant knight (?)- good painting exercise

[slaj]

Guys, this is my version of the Errant Knight by Elgreco. A fine sculpt by Matt Grech. For those who want to have some fun painting something with no pressures at all, this is the piece. Two part cast, no clean up and minimal construction. Just concentrate on the painting. I highly reccommend it

Stephen, terrific painting . But why does the bust remind me of you? Were you the model for this sculpt?

Stephen that is outstanding! What colors did you use for the flesh tones?

 

[Ron Tamburrini]

Another fine paint on this bust
like the washed out red of the tunic,and the flesh tones are great

Guys thanks. For those wondering about the flesh tones here's the mix:

Base: AV983+845+915+black
H/L: base +915 + 845
H/H/L: H/L +845
H/H/L 2: add 928 to the above
L/L: base +859
L/L/L: more 859
L/L/L 2: touch of black to the above

Hope this helps.

Beautifully rendered. It is the finest version of this figure yet posted. Congratlations on the self portrait. It really works.
