Simply stunning!

Fourteen minutes well spent - the way this guy produces skin tones is wonderful. Not figure making, but I'm sure we can all take something away from the way he handles colour...

Yep.....that's pretty much how I do it How annoying is that? there should be a law against making it look so effortless.

The best 14 minutes I spent this week . I'm surprised more members haven't checked this out Rich ,maybe you should retitle it face painting in oils .
the one thing that I really noticed was that in the white of the eyes there was no white , it was all browns and greys ,the only white was on the highlight on the pupil .
Great stuff

Yes, 14 minutes well spent. It staggers me that they can achieve such a high degree of photo-realism that way!!

Hi Rich,
Great post, so that's were I'm going wrong, easy when you know how.

Hi Jimmy,
Yes that is the technique I use......the P.L.A.P. technique.........paint like a primate.

Let's look on the bright side for a moment . . .


One good thing to come out of the Rolf Harris scandal is that hopefully we'll NEVER have to listen to "Two Little Boys" and "Jake the Peg" again!
