Great paintwork Eddy and good to see good use of oil paints as a meduim, lovely smooth paintwork!
goes to show it can be acheived with oil paints and not just with acrylics!! what was your paint mix for the skin tones?

Thank you very much for the kind comments, my friends!

Gerry: it's a mixture of brown madder (W&N) and brown madder alizarine from Rowney (it's a bit more reddish),
added with some ochre, naples yellow, more naples yellow and a bit of white for the highlights.
brown madder for the shadows on a subtile way, and some burnt sienna with a little bit of Rowney's brown madder alizarine for the cheeks.

Thanks Ron, for getting in touch with me for the base, mate!

Hello Keith, see you at Euro, mate!

Cheers,

Eddy

Outstanding painting Eddy, just goes to show that when used properly, artists oils (in the hands of an true artist) can be equally effective as acrylics.
