Geez, that was quick. I thought you were getting some kip at this (your), hour!

I don't need much sleep Joe and once my eyes open that's me awake and getting up, I don't believe in unnecessarily lying around in bed when there's so much to do.

Don't say back with his first love Keith or this SBS will never happen, have you ever tried to prise the bottle out of a drunken sailors hand
Looking forward to this mate, good job your not doing a Greek subject, dipping your brushes in that Ouzo does no good for reshaping the brush point.
I'll be watching this with real interest as I have a complicated flat to tackle at some point.
cheers
Richie
That reminds me, the ouzo and Tsipouro bottles are getting a bit low, I can feel a holiday coming on.
Glad you're finding this of interest and I'll see you next Friday.

Hi Roger,
I have a serious question. I have a flat diorama that has numerous figures in tight action. Would you paint one fully as a focal point and then branch out to the next adjacent figure and then complete that one, or would you base coat everything from greyscale and tackle them all together?
cheers

Hi, I hope it s OK if I ll enter to the conversation.......
Richie, it depends on if it is in one piece - vignette or separate figures. If in one piece, I guess you should paint at the beginning by Grisaille as you are pre-painting shadows, overlap shadows etc...... if separate figures it depends on location of each figure, but maybe I m wrong

That's absolutely fine with me Jozef and I'm in agreement with that method.
It also makes life easier if you are mixing colours, for example for the shadows on a red coat, (assuming you're painting red coats.
). You can use the mix for all the figures in the keeping a uniform appearance.If there's any horses involved then you can paint them individually as by nature they vary in colour and shades within that colour.

Shading of the trousers and cap.
Lamp Black.
Blended and a bit more...
The blending was done with this and she doesn't even know it's missing.

What's a Grisaille? Jozef/Roger
It's a one piece diorama. Really enjoying your SBS mate, lots to take in.

Hi Roger,
So when you started this Fusilier, did you paint it in greyscale first for the shadows and highlights? and the lay over the colour? Is that what Grisaille is? Thanks for the article (flats for dummies) I will have a thorough read of that.

Yep, that's what it is and no I didn't 'cause I'm too lazy.
A similar effect can be achieved with washes, I'll try and demonstrate what I mean on another section of this fig.

It's important not to be overdone in the trouser department Keith, just adequate is enough.
