Banjer A Fixture Joined Jan 12, 2019 Messages 1,040 Location Purton Mar 9, 2024 #2 Very well painted Melanie. Nice work on the braid and decorations. I prefer the David Grieve version of this subject I think the sash with it adds a bit of colour. Bill

I seem to default to more naturalistic skin tones, possibly also due to using oils they always fade down a bit I find. Banjer said: Very well painted Melanie. Nice work on the braid and decorations.

Bill, I agree the David Grieve version is preferable but I couldn't source one of these when I was looking for one, unfortunately. Kindest regards Melanie
