Peter Hi and thanks
The cloak was painted in a standard dark red mix. and then darkened in total with several much thinned black washes. Then i painted the designs by outlining the scheme with black in the red parts and red in the blackish parts . Then i shadowed and highlighted the patterns and made corrections when needed . Finally i washed 3 times with a dilluted mix of the base red color with black
Base : Carmine Red, Flat Red, Dark Green, Black
Lights : Vermillion, Deep orange
Shadows : Burnt Cadmium red, dark green, black
