Seeking help to paint heraldry

[Clarence1]

Hi,

I'm attemping to finish my 54mm pegaso Teutonic grand master.

I'm trying to replicate the blason of Werner Von Olsern.

Here an idea:

Now, here's my work. I'm not really convinced that it is gonna be easy to replicate.

So, now, I was wondering where I could find some help to develop a method to paint heraldry. Is there some books or secrets, websites that someone could share with me to help me to overcome this impossible task!!! It seems that 54mm is really impossible for me to achieve a good result. I'm better in 120mm. The only thing is that I got a bunch of really good figures in that scale still waiting to be paint but my lack of techniques is stoping me to finish them.

I tried to paint that thing for the last 3 days and now, I'm a bit desperate!!!

Thanks for sharing!!!

Clarence

Clarence,
the only thing that i advise you is buying the stencil set from Tommi.

Clarence, For sofar I know there are no secrets.
Ernest has a SBS on painting heraldry on a flag somewhere. And in Danilo´s book there are also some pages about painting heraldry.
For example use a lighter yellow color to paint the eagle and when satisfied go over it with black.
But you need a pincel with a good sharp point. The distribution on the shield looks good you only need to correct here and there.
Hope this helps a little.

Marcel.

Hi
By way of a suggestion.... get hold of a white chalk pencil rather than a graphite one
when you draw the outlines you can correct lines with a damp brush

After that its paint consistency and patience
wishing you every success
