Hi all,

I'd like to show you my last paint :

 

[garyjd]

JP, Very nice job on the painting.~Gary

 

[Angaliel]

This nice figure have been sculpted by my friend Greg Girault

I painted it with oil.

I tried to paint it sober. And that was the first time I tried to do a mud.
I did it with white wood glue added to oil paint and liquin.

Critics and comments welcomes !!!

JP

Ps : thx to my friend Luca Piergentili for the nice backgrounds in the two pics.

I like this one Jean Paul, very well sculpted and painted. I like the addition of the sling and the mud effect.
I'm increasingly being drawn towards figures from this period.

Roger.

 

[Christos]

Very goog paintjob.Great sculping also!

 

[DaveCox]

Very nicely painted Jean Paul. The mud & dirt looks quite realistic and well accomplished.

 

[Kisifer]

That's an excellent sculpted indeed and your painting Jean Paul really impressed me. Lovely reds, blues and mud effect.

The sculpting is extremely well done. And your painting makes it an exquisite figure.

Hi,

thx to you all for your nice comments.

Roger it's not a sling. But It's a "????", sorry I dont know the name, it's a kind of box you put water inside

Jp,

Yes, it is a sling when Roger means the brand where his left arm is resting in.
That what you ment is a canteen./

[billyturnip]

Yes, thats what I meant.
I apologise now for my French but is the phrase En echarpe bras? and is the waterbottle a Bidon?

Roger.

 

[Angaliel]

Lol

I was thinking of a sling that throw small rocks :lol:

Yes Bras en écharpe et bidon, more gourde !!

JP

 

[billyturnip]

JP, I'm glad we sorted that language problem out mon ami. :lol:
You thought I meant a fronde :lol:

Roger.

This is a super nice painted and sculpted figure . Jean Paul i like a lot your style of paiinting , and the amount of contrast you carry in it . Just nice work my friend !!!!

 

[Sambaman]

Jean Paul,
very nicely done! This turned out perfectly. Good contrasts, and the mud is quite nice.

[Angaliel]

Thx

Costas : thx, I realise that I start to find my own style. It took me some figure before finding a style. I go ahead with that manner to paint. I like it, and it seems that other like it too.

That is our first team Girault and me. We have a good figure feeling both. We planned to do lots of other team work.

Jay : Thx, I did not know the mud final result until I've finished it . It was my first try. Next time, I'll add wheel lines, horses foot prints and more

JP

 

[ghamilt1]

Very well done. I think it was a good idea to give him that "battle worn" look, as many of the figures of the Franco-Prussian war out there have that Parade Ground look to them. Yours is very original and beautifully painted.

OOH DES Kit is one of my fav manufacturers. I could have fun with this kit. Jean Paul you have done a great paint job. As other have commented, the mud makes a big difference in the appearance.
