Hey Lou!

Very nice work buddy! I think your explination is as good as it gets! The results are magnificant on the first figure, can't really judge on the second, would love a larger pic. Thanks for sharing!

 

[Lou Masses]

Thanks Anders. But whenever I try to post a "Bigger one" I can't the site won't let me. If anyone can help??

 

[Guy]

I have used Lou's formula for lace that he gave me over in TnT forum several months ago............works beautifully too!! .........thanks Lou

Looks like I have found my theory and seen it put to the test, just needs me to ruin a figure with it.

Ok, let's try the pic thing again. Attached (hopefully) are close ups of the "silver" on the Orleans Cavalryman, An early application of the non metallic technique on a Hussar (Needs more highlight), a current project with only the first two layers applied and the 4 colors I use for gold. Any questions, feel free.

:angry: Won't work, I'll ask Guy to load them if possible. <_<

Thank you Lou.

Hello Lou,
What areas on the figure do you want enlarged?

[Lou Masses]

My e-mail to you bounced back. I'll have to fiddle with the photos and try posting again.

 

[Lou Masses]

Let's try these again.....

First the colors used for gold. Like I said, doesn't have to be these but I have found that they work.

 

[Lou Masses]

Here's the lace up close...Well, as close as the upload will allow. I have 22 inch pic, if anyone wants it.

 

[Lou Masses]

ANother angle of the Silver lace....

 

[Lou Masses]

My second attempt at doing gold without "gold"...

 

[Lou Masses]

Finally, A current project with only two layers of yellows applied. I think it is important to note that I've never tried this with oils since I think they would blend. Essentially what I am doing is building up layers of paint (not washes ala acrylic style). in smaller and smaller amounts as I reach the highest highlight.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Here is an enlargment of the lace area of Lou's Lace work........stunning Lou.

Like I said in another posting, I use Lou's method of lace in both silver and gold. I like it better than my old way. I have a Barton 90mm Baron Von Zieten that Lou helped me with the reference with and the gold lace has been done with this method. My hat is off to you Lou

Thanks Guy. Appreciate your kind comments.
