A Fixture
Another Marechal to join my Napoleonic collection from Matt at El Greco
This one is of Jean-Baptiste Bessieres, 1st Duke of Istria (6 August 1768 – 1 May 1813) sadly he was killed by a cannonball which ricocheted off a wall and hit him in the chest.
Nice to see he is wearing a green jacket which makes a change from the dark blue.
After the usual prep and priming I started on the head with acrylic eyes and the rest in Artist's oils. The hair will be given the white highlights later.
Base colour started to be blocked in using Vallejo acrylics,
That's it for today.
Cheers and stay safe
