Gidday All,
The painting continues.Painting the helmet involves washes and opaque colour much in the treatment of oils even though acrylics are used.comments welcome.

Too Cool, Andy!!!

The white enameled tin cup with blue interior is a great touch! When I was growing up in the 50s I seem to remember my parents having a set of outdoor picnic stuff with those kinds of cups.

The strands of hair standing up, the facial expression. What's not to like?!

All the best,
Dan
