My Gaul at last..

[Sonia]

Well with some help I'm finally able to post my two pics.. it's been a heavy delivery.. this is the latest figurine I've painted.. I paint with oils on a acrylic base, I was really scared to paint the cloak but well I bought it so ..
If you want you can always make observations.. no problem

Thanks Tommi, I started out with the green obviously, shade and highlights.. then the vertical blue..dry.. horizontal blue.. shade and highlights.. then I did the same with the white and ocre thinner lines.. trying not to forget to breath at times
