Ciao a tutti,
I'm keep on painting this magnificent bust, face, helmet, jacket, life jacket and Thompson are almost complete, each of these has few minor things to fix or paint.
I've used a new method to paint the wooden stock of the gun:
First I painted the stock with a basecoat of a reddish brown, then I did paint random stripes with 3 different colours (a light ochre, a mid brown and a very dark black/brown) over the basecoat.
Once all was dry I took the Burnt Sienna oil colour out of the tube and applied a thick layer; because the oils are transparent by nature, the acrylics base can be seen throug the oil colour !!
It took me 10-15 minutes to achieve this, I then added few marks in oils and once dry I will make the final adjustments.
Hope you like it.
Ciao
Giovanni
