Dear friends this is a figure i started on saturday all painted with my new jojona's acrylics. Base still to be done cause i m waiting for the wooden base first. Hope you like it. Fell free to comment and criticize.

Excellent painting. The highlights are a bit extreme for me, but that's just my preference.

Dimitrios; what did you think of those acrylics? You sure did a wonderful job on this figure.

Stunning work.
I think you managed the JoSonja paint great.

Guys thank you all for your comments. Carl i think you r talking about the brown coat and i see your point. The truth is that sometimes i tend to overdo lights and shadows cause it makes the figure stand out from a longer distance than the 30cm that we usually look at it. Mike i m quite pleased with the colors. Their covering ability is excllent, layering works great too, but i excpected even the dark colorst to dry dead matt and the're not. Still they are more matt than Vallejo. I would recommend giving them a try. The nice thing about them is that there colors correspond to oils (ex. burnt umber, raw sienna etc) so transition from one medium to the other comes easier. (for me at least).

Outstanding job Dimitrios, I think the contrast between light and dark is perfect. Are the acrylics you refer to like an artists acrylic (tubes), or another brand of hobby type acrylic paint? Again congrats!

 

[jimias]

Glen thank you for your kind words. The colors are artists in tubes, but not like a paste like oils, rather like the hobby type consistency. At some cases you need to gently squeeze the tube and others just tilt it abit and the color poures out. Can get messy if you are careless, like me!!!!

Dimitrios; Thanks for the info. I'll give them a try especially after the results you have obtained. Such a nice clean paint.

Glad to help mike. Just one thing: be sure to buy a color named "brown earth". Extremely versalite all around color. If i knew it i would get me 2 tubes, though i think one will last for a year at least.
