That's a nice painted figure Francis. I have put this one on my wish list. From the picture though the coat looks a bit satin. Maybe it's the picture though.Other than that excellent job overall.

Excellent job by the look of the photo. Please let us know what paints were used. Blue can be a difficult colour to master, especially in oils.
The figure looks as though it was taken at a show of some kind. As such the photo looks a tiny bit blurred. I know from my limited experience that this is a trait of digital photography. Under studio conditions, this figure would really shine.
Look forward to seeing a better picture, as this really good figure certainly deserves it.
All the best.

Oh, please share with us your technique for blond hair as well. Something I've sometimes struggled with.
Thanks.

How do you deal with the blond hair.

hello, to your question: i dont remember the exactly proportion for the blond hair, because i'm working to the feling, but i use a base of napel yelow, with a touch of aurora yelow, first step ligth is napel yelow with titanium and second ligth titanium. brun umber and burn umbur with black for the shading.

for the blue ???? i think base windsor blue, "turquoise"; and indigo; ligth more turquoise in base ad napel yelow. 1 st shading more indigo in base; 2 nd ad bleu black.

for the next i' take note of my mixing to give you with more precition.

tank for your coment.
