Absolutely stunning. So subtle, yet the colours have so much depth. Very nice work Constantin.

Really nice style. You flesh looks almost smokey...not in colour....in blending! Wonderful job.

Hi ,

This is a lovely sculpt , one of the best by Andrea IMO , love the way the colours are so striking ...nice subtle whites and great facing colours .

Fleshwork is really understated but so lifelike ...as Colin says "almost smokey"

Thanks for sharing

Very nice

 

[bonehead]

I agree, very nice! This figure shows a nice restraint in the painting style. It is so different from the seemingly reflexive over-painting that has become fashionable in recent years. Notice how the white actually LOOKS like white? When was the last time you saw that?

Beautifull paintwork.
And Mike, I'm all the way with you.

Many thanks for the feedback, friends

This is nice , flesh tones are superb and not over done ,great all round Constantine

Some thoughts on the base. A much darker wood or even black would make the figure pop quite a bit ,slightly taller and reduced width would draw even more attention to the bust . "very minor points"

[Kisifer]

Indeed a great piece of work. I will agree with Ron regarding the base.

Beautifully painted Constantine, the whites look very natural. Regards, SG

Thank you very much everyone for your interest to my work.

 

[Edorta]

This is one of my favourite bust, and you have made a great work with it, following your style as always, and giving your personal tones and textures by the temperas you use.

Along with many others, I imagine, I'd be interested to learn how to use Tempera on figures. For example, what 'support ' do the paints need; in other words, is an acrylic spray undercoat sufficient? And is it necessary to apply a varnish after painting?

Hi, Jeff.
Yes, I use as a primer acrylic spray. The varnish after painting I do not use.

Thank you, Constantine. I look forward to seeing more of your fine work.
