WIP Pegaso 90mm Gen. de Bgd. Francois Fournier (Sarlovese) c. 1810

Stunning, surprised he didn't have coloured boots.

Simon

Probably did in his closet at home.

Fully assembled except spurs. I need to fill some gaps in his pelisse cords. The pelisse is only base coated. The sabretache and sword are at about 75%. Boots still need work and lots of clean up to do. But I wanted to see him fully kitted out.

I can certainly understand why you like this particular chap, the uniform and this sculpt, is great and you really are bringing him to life.

Hi Colin

A Like doesn’t seem enough so it’s a WOW! from me

Really enjoying the whole thread so far , interesting your painting the pelisse in situ ...or has it yet to be fixed in place ?

Look forward to seeing more

Have fun

Yes the pelisse has been fixed in place. Shouldn’t present a problem…I hope.

Ready for embroidery. Greens are Liquitex acrylic gouache (sponge & brush applied) with Liquitex ink washes.

Very nice, never considered using gouache before, I always thought it was quite fragile. Your sponge technique works really well.

These paints are my first experience with gouache. I bought a sampler box set. Liquitex’s new gouache product is bottled. Similar to a watery acrylic with very fine pigment, decent coverage, and a good matte finish.
