Hello guys,

I'm sharing some of my paintjobs that I have finished a little while back.
It's a very nice bust from Michael Miniatures. All is painted in oils.
I hope you like it. Thanks for looking,

Eddy

One of the finest painting of a bust that I have seen this year. Hats off to you.

Thank you very much for the kind comments on my work, guys!
I really appreciate it!

Gerry:
I use a mixture of Brown Madder and English red from Winsor en Newton (30-70%)
Then my first highlight is lightly done with ocher, than Naples yellow, than Naples yellow added some white.
The darkest shadows are done with Brown Madder and a little bit of purple.
The cheeks are done added some burned sienna, an a little bit of red.
All carefully blend together.
Beside the nose I have added carefully some burned sienna.
All was done whet on whet. (The face was done in about one hour).

Nap:
The cords and flounders are NMM.

Thanks for looking and making the comments, guys
Cheers,
Eddy

I've tried your mix Eddy, all I can say is I need more practice, you make it sound so B****Y easy A question! when do you do the eyes? at the same time?

Joking aside that is a stunning piece of work Eddy, great colours and a superbly painted face.

Following our conversation at Euro I hope things are going well for you and my best wishes for Xmas and the New Year..................Keith

Thanks you very much, guys! Much appreciated!

Hi Keith: the eyes I do when the face is completely dry.

For the moment, all is going well, I keep my fingers crossed that it stays that way, thanks for asking, my friend!
My best wishes for Xmas and the new year for you too, mate!
