WIP Critique Napoleon 1er

[Angaliel]

Hello,

I'm actually painting the Metal Modeles Napoleon on horse.

Its my first attemp to paint a horse.

Napoleon is finished.

The colors I used for the painting : Blue, Red, Yellow, black and white only. (Acrylic paint)
Metalic parts are with ink and oils.










The horse is only in the beginning of the painting :

At these first steps in the horse I see avery impressionistic style. I think the figure of napoleon is perfect, don´t need changes..I folow

Amazing work on the horse. Wanna now more about the technique you used on this.
Napoleon is great. I should highlight the gold braid on the shoulders more.

I see natural artistic talent shining through here, great work on Napoleon with such a limited palette and that Horse is going to look great when it is finished-looking forward to seeing more

Did you hear that?

That's the sound of my jaw hitting the floor!
That is very impressive work, the closeup of the horse's face looks like a pic of a real horse. The eyes are just about perfect!

Will be following this to its' completion

Thx a lot.

For my first horse, I want to do something that looks like the painted horses I see on canvas.
I dont know if it will be as good finished as it is now

The horse is also painted with only Blue, red and Yellow. And black and white.

Thx a lot.

I hope you're right and it will look good when finished.

I already know that it takes very long time to paint a horse that way..... I dont know if I'll do it that way again on the next horse....

Thx

As I wrote earlier, I paint the horse also with the same colors that I painted Napoleon (Blue, Red, Yellow, white and black)

Yes I will highlight the gold braid on the shoulders. I just wait it dries before. Its painted with ink and oil.

For the horse nothing particular.
I start from black undercoat.
Then I paint from deepest shadow to final highlights.... start with big brush... and then smaller and smaller as you highlight.... the finals highlights are simulating hair....
