11. Day (1st day of the workshop), November 18, 2016
First of all:The workshop at Markus was worth every damn kilometer railway ride!
We were only three - and I felt this was a huge advantage, because the thing was more like an intensive coaching - especially since Markus sat next to me and painted the same figure.
And all this in the green Alpine foothills - and when you looked out of the window, you could see the snowy Alps chain.
Great!
Let's get to the actual content of the event:
I had taken the torso of the fighting Cossack and wanted to come as far as possible.
Just remember:There I wanted to go:
Our friend is a Sotnik (First Lieutenant) of the 2nd Plastoon-Batallion of the Terel-Cossacks.
The first thing was the dark blue Beshmet (caucasian: shirt).
I had been warned both by Mark and by Benedict: there are beautiful dark blue oil colors - but they tend to shine like the devil!
Nevertheless, I wanted to paint the emblem with oil - accompanied by a friendly-skeptical
The finished oil spill was immediately washed down again - one should at least be able to listen to experts!
Second start with acrylics:
And lo and behold - I liked it much better ...:
Markus had also painted his Beshmet in blue, also with acrylic, but a tinge brighter. My colors are the left on the next picture, which from Markus you see right ...:
Here our two Cossacks stand side by side - I was satisfied!
When I got up from the Table, I once looked at the clock - she showed 2 clock at night! The time had passed as if in flight!
