Mountain Man, 1840 Finished

[Don]

Guy You have done a wonderful job on this bust, one of the best busts I have seen. The buckskins look real, any chance of a run down on your technique on doing buckskin.
Super work
Don

Thanks for the feedback Don. The buckskins are done in enamels. The base coat is Floquil Khaki with the dark shading done with weathered black and the highlighting done with Khaki and a mix of a drop or two of white. The final weathered look is achieved with the technique of dry-brushing over the buckskins and fringe with a small flat edged brush using the pigment (semi dry) from a mix on the back of a business card of Khaki and white. Sometimes there is several dry-brushes done with each time lightening the color.

Thanks Guy Think I will be getting the mounted trapper shortly and was thinking how do do buckskin when your article came up.
Thanks very much for the help.

Guy - Looks great! Somehow I picture you as a mountain man. I think you were one earlier in your life, or in a previous life. I just know it.
