Joachim Murat, Grand Duke of Berg, 75mm

[tiberius57]

Finished my last project. Joachim Murat, Grand Duke of Berg, 1806. A 75mm figure from Atelier Maket. A challenging uniform to paint and a challenging figure to assemble. Alternative sessions of painting and assembling have been used to allow all the areas to be addressed.
Hope you'll like it!
Cheers,
Zeno

Zeno, my old fr, that is beautiful painting. Bold where it needs to be and subtle in other areas. Well done.

Excellent painting Zeno. What colors did you use on the pelisse; excellent deep red tones.

Oh, well, I like to experiment on the palette and I was aiming for a deep red wine color. So, what I did is to mix Scale 75 Deep Red, Vallejo Royal Purple and Andrea Black. I got a dark purple red and that was the base coat. Darken with more black and highlighted with red and orange plus yellow. I didn't liked the color - to red-ish. So, I went back to the base color and this time I did it in purple. More black for shadows and purple plus Vallejo old rose for highlights. When I liked the contrast, I applied a filter/wash with Scale 75 Deep Red which changed the color in this nice burgundy red. I like to play in this way. All kind of nice surprises are coming out.
Hope it helps!

Another top job, Zeno. This is no easy figure to paint well but you have certainly managed it. Excellent.

I think it’s outstanding.
Murat is a man who I would gladly follow to hell ( I was a soldier)
They had such charisma, those men like him.
