Two indian busts

[Ulrich]

A very old bust from carl Reid but a very good one. Not my last one from his Harton range. I have paint no war paint over the face because I like the expression of him

The second was bought two month before on the show in Ransart. A new bust from Golem Art together with a very high base, but everyone here means that that is ok. I have fixed not the feathers on the head because I like the bust without them more

 

[John Bowery]

Well done and nice wood bases.
Cheers

Excellent work on both busts. I also like your choice of bases.

 

[Ulrich]

Thank you very much for your comments. I am glad that you like the bases too. For the skin tones I had tried a new mixture of oil colours

Very nice work Ulrich. Do please share your paint mix with us as you've really caught the native American coluring in my opinion.

Cheers

Huw. I will try it. I start with a normal flesh mixture made from Permanent Orange (Lukas 1862), Windsor yellow deep (Windsor & Newton) and Titanium white. Then I have used Burnt sienna and Burnt umber (Windsor & Newton) and Vandyke brown (Mussini). I have another Vandyke brown from Lukas Sorte 1 but that is a complete other colour and doesn´t work. See photo. Nr. 1 is Mussini and Nr. 2 Lukas Sorte 1. I have miex only white into the colour.

For some parts of the faces I have used a very little bit of Carmine (Lukas 1862)
