Ok Guys, now I'm working on the flesh tones, kinda colder and dark look, just what I want for this kind of subject. I use different mix, a base color of brown sand + purple red + azur, the 1st, 2st and 3th lights just adding basic skintone and the 4th light brown sand + basic skintone, the 5th light only basic skintone.
Now the shadows, the 1st and 2st is a mix of the base color + cadmium maroon, the 3th is the same than the 2st + dark prusian blue and the 4th is the base color + black
Tones are purple red + cadmium maroon

Here is a pic with all the mix, lights and shadows:

and the face

I also painted a little cut in the left side with a mix of the tone color + a bit of the 2th shadow

The hair is not ready yet, but is a mix of black + english uniform

Hi Ernest, This is coming along superbly. The horse is just absolutely incredible, the use of colours and the right amount of weathering is spot on. The face on the figure is also great, shows a determined and masculine face. Cant wait to see more.

Looking great Ernesto. I like your color choices alot. It's also nice the way you've added some red in the boots. It gives the leather some life. A nice, dramatic style to this piece. For my taste though, the face has a bit of a heavy contrast. Maybe some more mid values? That being said, it does kind of work with the piece. As I said though, personal opinion. Great work and I'm following to see the horse and rider together.

Very nice paintjob Ernesto. This horseman works very mysterious and impressiv. I admire your face colours and method of shading by acrylics.
