General Colbert at Waterloo

[khollar]

General Colbert at Waterloo. Wounded at Quatre Bras, Colbert nonetheless led his Red Lancers at Waterloo with his arm in a sling. This is the Bonaparte’s 200mm bust, sculpted by Carl Reid a few years back. I have added a few details to his czapka and epaulettes, and painted him in oils, inks and acrylics.

Thanks, Nap. That is most appreciated.

In regards to the aiguilettes, I painted all of the lace, trim, cords, etc. with combinations of the three colors in the attached photo. The Bone color is used as a highlight, and I added a bit of white to it for the highest highlights on areas that catch a lot of light.
