Into the final stages now with this latest bust,ive added some beige colouring to the webbing with some seam lines added in,these just need reefing a little which ill do once the oils have dried off,the binoculars ive finished and added in place and I have added the camo flashes which are prominent on the Denison smocks,one more session should finish this one off,4 down and 1 to go :eek::nailbiting:

The colours I have used for the Denison were all finished in oils over acrylic basecoats.

Gold Ochre + White
Olive Green + 10% Windsor yellow + white
Light Red + Vandyke brown + white as required

Lining was done using acrylic black thinned down.

Beautiful work Brian. What kind of wash did you use to obtain that fantastic finish on the denison. Was it a mix of colors?

Joel
Many thanks Joel

I don't use washes on any figure painting I do,
I think you may be thinking about the picture itself,I edited the picture with a program I have on my PC to give it that look
 
Cheers Brian. You're also a brave man for staying the course in doing 5 of the same subject. Wow, I've got the attention span of a hummingbird:D:cool:
Thanks paul,I'm lucky like that,I've always been a slow and patient worker when it comes to hobbies,I think I picked it up in my childhood years when I started fishing
 
Hi,
Perhaps I did not explain well enough what I'm trying to do. I'm not trying to get a picture looking like yours, I want the painting of the figure to look like your picture. Should I spray a matt finish on the figure?

I can't advise you as I don't use varnish either on my subjects,you will just have to go with what you think is best,have you got a picture of your piece
