Nice work. I especially like the Drum Major. ~Gary

the pieces are painted with acrylic colors ... For white I use a mix of colors made up of Vallejo: Ivory, gold flesh , black, khaki, english uniform and very little Napoleonic green Andrea . For the first light, then use the flesh-add the ivory. This allows me to get a warm tone. For the shadows instead add a touch of umber and black .....Regards FAbrizio
