[zernina]

Hello everybody!
I want to show you my latest work. This is "The Aquila" bust. Produced by Nuts Planet. Sculpted by Jun-Sik Ahn. Scale - 1/10 (200 mm).
I used acrylic ( Polycolor , Italy) and tempera (Master Class, Russia ) for painting.

Best regards from St.Petersburg ( Russia ),
Olga Zernina.

Olga
That is really very well finished. The face has a rare realism and the clothing looks very natural, especially on his back.
Bravo

Hi Olga, you have figure painting at you mercy, each and every one of your subjects are done to perfection and I cant get over the speed that you can turn each creation out, they cant be rushed as the pictures show neat and tidy painting so you must know exactly what you are doing and have a real steady hand that gives you the results that you want first time without the need for corrections etc.
I just started to take the mold lines etc of this bust last week and for you to have put your completed figure on PF could not of been timed any better as I have been using it as a reference over the weekend checking the fitting of the parts etc so well done on this posting and keep them coming, its outstanding work and a great inspiration to others.

Hello Steve! I use usual brushes ( kolinsky ) , sometimes - № 3, № 2 - at the beginning of painting; № 0, № 00 - more often
