Gordy,
I am dedicating a chapter called , â€Painting the Face “to Maximus, in my book called “The Art of Painting Miniatures; Faces & Figuresâ€, Because he is large enough for my readers to see details on how things are done,
in particularly, his mouth allows me to demonstrate my mouth and teeth techniques!
My book from Compendium Publishers, London, is due out around April. Gordy I would like to arrange with Planet Figure to get signed copies to the members.Is this possible.
Thanks again
Alex

system of opposition
Grody,and Keith,
At the heart of my skin tones are my gum tones; from these gum tones I build my flesh tones that I use as well for internal organs. However, when it comes to the teeth I use a system of opposition i.e. I paint the gum with acrylics and the teeth with enamel, stroking it and applying it as nail polish is applied. I also use the gum tone as a separator between the individual teeth. Because of the different mediums I can clean one without disturbing the other. In the book I cover the gum tones in the Formula section.
Happy Painting
Alex

Now you see. That's quite good. Very well done and now I know, Compendium books. How did you get the eyes done? (If you answered already sorry, I've had 8 glasses of sangria this evening). THat is really quite good. What is the scale? (again, if I repeat shoot me, I've drank enough to kill a troll)
