Just put the fnishing touches to this great little figure by Fernand Backaert and sent to me to paint by my good pal Dan Morton.

Cheers Dan.

An interesting and unusual subject where the research was as much fun as the painting.

Excellent work Roger.

Thank you Guy.

My next project might be something a little "flatter"

Nicely done Roger. You have a wonderful sheen on the leather of the boots and the stock of the gun!

Thank you Jay.

The sheen on those areas was done with Games Workshop Brown & Chestnut wash. A very easy way to achieve that effect.

Always a great idea to paint a belgian figure !

 

[billyturnip]

Always more ideas than Belgian figures unfortunately Patrick.
I would like to paint a Trappist monk holding a glass of Chimay up to the light, how is that for an idea?

Roger

 

[Marcel]

Marcel.

With a big chunk of cheese in his hand and maybe you can add a second one who's hiding a sigaret behind his back.

 

[billyturnip]

Thank you John.

Patrick, maybe a conversion of the Andrea Name of the Rose figure to the head brewer studying his brewing books is a good idea!!!!
