Lovely work, just awesome.

 

[Ernest]

Some more progress, I notice in the pictures that the red color needs more retouching on the tones, more yellow and orange on the arms and shoulders...

 

[Tommi]

Another option cheaper!!!

Exactly what I use and have great results, has made a big difference to the way I paint with acrylics both in slow dying time and blending, highly recommended product

More of this big fella, now I'm working on trousers, sorry I did not take pics of the color mix palate but I use for the base color: black + dark prusian blue+english uniform, 2 lights adding a bit of sunny skintone and less black, shadows with only black.
