Hi Mr Colin

Where to start .....on this the work on the coat is very impressive particularly the fur edging ...your use of inks on the flesh produces a real life line tone

How did you achieve the sash effect ?

Thanks for sharing

Nap

 

[Colin_Fraser]

Thanks Kevin. The fur is a combination of various artists' acrylics (most high viscosity bottled paints) combined with diluted liquitex inks to darken the recesses in the sculpted texture. I used a lot of sepia as I recall.

The sash was painted with the scale 75 red set. The watered silk design was painted on with after I was satisfied with the shading. I think it was red combined with a bit of flesh. After this, I washed the whole sash with undiluted red liquitex ink to unify the various colours and shades.

Hope that helps.

Colin
