Looks good Phil. I've found Indian subjects to be very interesting and creative subjects to paint with all the various colorful decorations and such on their clothing. Keep up the good work and interesting SBS.

Wayne

Thank you Wayne - I totally agree they are great subjects and I have a bunch more in my grey army that I'll hopefully get to soon!

I like the bust and the explanation of the technique.

Thank you very much santi

Great article.
So far I have only heard of this technique being used on busts.
Do you think it is applicable to smaller scales 54/75 and to areas other than the face?

Thank You.

Yes, I totally think it's applicable to smaller scales. I think it would be quite effective! Give it a shot...

Phil mate your SBSs are always exciting but this is by far the best I've gone through!!!This technique is completely unknown to me but you've proved what excellent results it can produce.An educational and recreational SBS!!!!Looking forward for more!
PS:Needless to say,this bust already looks beautiful,when finished it is bound to be fantastic.

Oda.

Thank you so much Oda... I'm glad you enjoyed reading through it!

A really good SBS, do you think the under-painting technique would work using thinned oils as the top coat?

Steve

Thanks Steve!

And yes, I do think you could use thinned oils as the top coat. I would just make sure that you're using colors that are fairly transparent, and then I would made sure they're thinned down appropriately.

I have this one as well, and it's a beautiful sculpt.

Wow thats amazing, love the SBS. Will (if okay with you) convert it to a word document and print out for reference. I will have to see how i can translate your colours into the paints i have (andrea flesh set), assuming i keep the colours transparent (Glazes?) it should work in a similar way. Got a couple of grey heads i can try it on. With the black and white, take it - black from 45 degrees - shooting upwards and white 45 degrees shooting down from the top ?
