Acrylics Pyrrhus, King of Epirus - Art Girona 54mm

[Rodrigo Guilherme]

Hello Folks,

This is my first work of 2014. I confess that this is a topic I do not know much, I did my best! I hope you enjoy.

Criticism and suggestions are welcome!

Hugs from Brazil

A really good start and I like your handling of purple which is always a difficult colour (well it is for me!) to paint convincingly on a figure.

Hello Gary,

I'm not a great painter yet! Actually more complicated and a purple color!

To help you follow the mix I did for purple whit Vallejo:

Base:
3 drops of "purpura" - 70.810 +1 drop "carne dorada"- 70.845

1 shadow:
Pure "purpura"

2 Shadow:
3 drops of "purpura" + 1 drop of "azul marina oscuro" - 70.898

3 shadow:
2 drops of "purpura" + 2 drops of "azul marina oscuro"

1 light:
2 drops of "purpura" + 2 drops "carne dorada"

2 light:
First light + little bit of "carne dorada"

3 Light:
Second light + "carne dorada"

Hope that helps you!

Good work Rodrigo.
If I was to change anything it would be the background colour.
The figure is very well painted my friend.
Cheers,
Keith

Hi Rodrigo,
I remember someone posted some www. addresses for back grounds. I will try to locate them for you.
For me you just need it to be a little darker.

That is very good Rodrigo it will bring out the best of your good work.

Nice job and a subject matter I'm a big fan of. I like your choice of colors.


For backgrounds, take a look at these. I use them a lot. Free to print out which is always good.

Hanger18 also makes some really nice photo backgrounds. They are for sale instead of free, but they are high quality.
