Hello,

As promised in my other thread, here are the photos of the finished bust Prince Leopold van Bayern, sculpted by Ulrich Puchala.

The photos aren't so good, but you get an idea.

Thanks for looking.

Nice work!

Just a suggestion: the metal decorations on the helmet could use a little bit more depth IMHO...maybe you could still add some thinned black oil paint as a wash to make them stand out just a bit more??

I just noted his glasses...nice detail in the sculpting picked out well!

Cheers,
Adrian

Looks good. But i mis a great detail on the helmet, and sabel.
It seems all the same silver color.
You can change that with washes from oilpaint....ivory black with raw umber for instance.
The beard his really fine detailling that you missed to bring out.
So, i think it is not finished.

Thanks Roger.
Sometimes is it better to do a little bit quiet and not in a rush...
Thanks again for make it better.

Because I've seen yours and I am at the moment painting Ulrich's Viktoria-Luise I think I would like to paint this one myself.

the little corrections made your bust much better. In my opinion this corrections are the "dot on the i" (Pünktchen auf dem "i") to make the difference between a good and a very good figure

Nice work on the bust. To finish it completely, the oval crest in the middle of the helmet plate would be enameled (black,red,white,blue and gold)for Bavarian generals.
