Roman Gladiator more work.

[Roc]

Hey guys, did a little more work on our Gladiator.
I painted the bronze arm protector , the flesh and the leather straps, still needs more highlights and shadows.

The bronze was painted as described in previous steps.

FLESH.
Base = Rembrant flesh ochre +Titanium White + windsor Newton Transparent Gold Ochre +
Rembrant burnt Sienna and a touch of Windsor blue to cool the mix .
Medium shadow = Base + Mars Brown.
Dark shadows = Allizarin brown.
Extreme shadows = Sepia.
Medium Highlights = base + Naples Yellow.
extreme highlights = Naples yellow



LEATHER BELTS.
Base = Mars brown + Brown Madder Allizarin.
Medium shadow = Brown Mdder Allizarin.
Deep shadows = Windsor blue.
Medium highlight = Mars yellow
High highlights = Naples yellow.
extreem highlights add Titanium white to Naples yellow.

Cheers
