Fusilier-Grenadiers 1813

[swralph]

Hello my Friends.
This is my latest from Verlinden 120mm.
Painted with oils and acrylics.
I also feel I'm getting a bit better with the pastel work.
All the best.
Ralph.

Very good Ralph, nice and subtle with the pastels too, if gives a nice effect without being overdone. I think I might have mentioned this before but I think lots of weathering is fine on the right subject in the right setting, you've got it just right with this one.

You have mentioned it before and you're correct.
The figure does look better in the flesh(I can never take decent pics).

Hi Ralph

Another cracking use of pastels ..as Roger said just right.

Painting is rather nice as well like the cross belts and the gray of the coat

Nice to see you are obviously enjoying the bench time

Thanks for sharing

I love my bench time and would be lost without it.
I'll put something in FOTM.I have the potential of painting another 2 or 3 by the 30thso I'll have a choice of what to put in.
