I'd like to say good-bye to this winter with memorable french soldier in Russia 1812.

Excellent..............he looks so cold

Some more picture...

This time, I tried to express snow flakes on the soldier's coat using oil paint.

Stunning work. How did you achieve that snow look with oils?

 

[tonydawe]

Best version of this figure I've seen so far, well done.

Cheers

 

[Theodoros]

Osacip, I think that his face should be more blue-pale and not reddish because of the cold and snow !

one word :
BBBBBRRRRRRRRRRR

Awesome work. Very nice effect.

Would you please share your snow technique? As Tony mentioned, this is the best version I have seen, too.

That's a wonderful work.
An expression of snow is original.
You have the atmosphere in a field, right?
A ground work is also Good.
Congratulations!

 

[John Bowery]

Beautiful,

Very well done snow effect, but I also think your skin tones could be a bit cooler.Only a personal oppinion. But overal a great piece of painting.

Truly outstanding rendition of this figure! I believe the face is excellent as well, when the wind blows cold your face turns red.

 

[ausf]

Superb work in my opinion.

 

[Roc]

Good work, I would also suggest that you cool down the face a bit.


Cheers
