That's very nicely done. It's also a brilliant piece if sculpture. I like the way you have done the subtly different versions of horizon blue.

 

[baronband]

That sculpture is fantastic but your paining of that face is awesome, totally captured the mood, almost haunting. Brilliant paint work

You really bought it all together on this Dave. A touching, moving study of this young man in a torrid time.
Emotion visible in his face & eyes. Then there is the detail painting. Just inspirational & something I appreciate you sharing so we can learn from how to bring humanity to our painting.

Marc,
Windsor and Newton oils; Indigo, Titanium White, Raw umber, and a tiny bit of Yellow Ochre and some red[ bright red] shift the blue away from the green hue of the Indigo. You can also add some Cobalt blue if it's a struggle to get the blue you want.

Cheers David

The face has a lot of detail making the painting easy. Credit to the sculptor.
