Landsknecht from Ademola

[dArtagnan]

Thanks for the nice comments, my friends,
they're very much appreciated!

David,
I use a mixture of Brown Madder and English red from Winsor en Newton (30-70%)
Than my first highlight is lightly done with ocher, than Naples yellow, than Naples yellow added some white.
The darkest shadows are done with Brown Madder and purple.
The cheeks are done added some burned sienna, a little red and just before the beard some purple (a little bit).
All carefully blend together.
Beside the nose I have added carefully some burned sienna.
All was done whet on whet. (The face was done in about one hour).
Hope it was understandable, and it can help you.

All the best,
Eddy

The amazing face tone!
It's very smooth and beautiful.
The atmosphere of the figure is very wonderful.
I liked it very much.
I think a gorgeous masterpiece.
I congratulate completion.
