French Napoleonic Bust

[cScha2dv]

Hi guys,

I wanted to share with you a bust I am painting. It is a french napoleonic bust that the kind people at Historex Agents gave me. I wanted to show in his face the worn appearance of a soldier (drinking, harsh weather). I still have lots of work to do on the white aswell as the details (buttons etc).

Comments are welcome!

Best wishes

Alexander,

Nice painting, but I must point out I believe you have attached the plume upside down. Should be an easy fix.

Excellent flesh tones. He does look cold.
