I started to paint this one this summer (July). It was very hot weather. My Acrylics, even with wet pallet, dried too quick....
So I had to use my Oils.
As you know, I only paint with primary colors.
So to paint my reds ( crimson) I had to avoid yellows in my base mix.
So I used a bluish red. I used a green blue for shades and a bit or Cadmium Red Light in the lights.
Then later, when the weather cooled down a bit, I sprayed a mate cote (Mr Super Clear) to be able to continue with acrylics.
So I painted over my reds, but not completely covered my oil work.
I used the same kind of colors and restrictions.
In fact, my painting is a lot of layers of colors. They are not necessary exactly the same mixes.....
That gives deep and richness.
And I do that to every parts of my miniatures.
A think the face has been painted 3 or 4 times. The whites 3 times at least.....
Dont be afraid to paint over your precedent work.
