[Nap]

Hi everyone

Saw this on social media ...a figure book written and presented by JOE HUDSON .....due release on Amazon , both in U.K. On 23/4 and U.S.A slightly earlier

Details from the covers

Couple more pics

Right now it is #1 New Release and #6 Best Seller on Amazon

GREAT OFFER from Joe ....

If anyone wants a signed copy they can order from his hobby shop.

You can email to Kevin at [email protected] with full name, phone number and address if you want it personalized to whom.

The Hobby Shop ( https://www.hobby1.com/ )will let you know when they are ready and collect payment then.

Certainly looks well worth a hard look at with the colour pics and 15 articles written by Joe a very highly respected modeller and artist

I will update when I get any more info on publication etc

Enjoy

Have to say that Joe Hudson isn't a name I'm familiar with, but then FSM isn't a publication that I habitually check out.

I suspect it's going to be yet another orgy of acrylics with little to offer the oil painter, but it looks nice enough and might be worth a punt at that price.

Hi Steve

I contacted Joe it is all Acrylics as that's all he paints with but as you say a good price so worth it ....I will add it to my " how to books"

Yeah Steve, I’m one of those acrylic painters BUT I used to be one of those OIL guys!

I switched because I got tired of painting the figures twice, base coats then oils. I still remember a few things about oils and here are a few examples of ALL OILS.

If you want to try to switch or feel like I think the book would help but if not I fully understand.

Have a great day!

Very nice work Joe.

Try as I may (and God knows I've tried ) I just can't get my head around acrylics. They remain a "dark art" for me and I think they always will do. So I remain a strictly "oils over an acrylic base" man, I fear I am too long in the tooth to make the switch now.

Good luck with the book. I hope it sells well for you. I might even pick up a copy myself (a guy can't have too many books!)

Hey Steve,

I was the exact same way as you. What I found was over time was to just make the transition slow, for example if you are doing a figure, paint it in oils but maybe just paint the belt or shoes in acrylics. My hardest transition was the flesh. How I did this was to paint the flesh in oils then when dry put some light highlights in glazes and some deep shadows with acrylics.

I am trying to paint more realistic myself now. If this book does well I will do another one on this new technique that I’m trying to master.

If I can be of any help, please let me know.
