What else can I say? It's amazing.

Hardy, you are the best oil painter nowadays. I have just one question: All the highlights/shadows applied wet on wet or the second and final highlights/shadows applied wet on dry?

Best wishes

Just a little update on my progress. Have started doing the leather, as its a study in blue its taking ages. The face is now finished, added some lower teeth and am going to yellow them when dry. You can see more images on my website www.hardytempest.moonfruit.com

Great work Hardy, one question...In wich period of time romans start to use blue protectors, blue capes and blue shileds??...
Thanks

[Hardy]

Thanks all.
Hi Ernest, there is some evidence that sea born Roman troops wore blue. There is quite an interesting thread over on medrom on dyeing leather (based on this very figure), and by my understanding it is indeed very possible. If it actually happened with this particular soldiers unit is unknown, so as usual its down to how much artistic input you are comfortable with.
