Brian: Wow, so typical of your work posted here. The viewer,
IMHO empathizes with this soldier, and the Hell that he has
been thru. The faded and worn look that you create so
skillfully brings that point home. Well done,

Rick

Many thanks Rick for your kind coments,I'm glad you like it so far

Fab job Smudger, especially the weathering. How about a SBS on how you go about it? Or have you already done one that I've missed?

Jeff

Many thanks Jeff,I have been asked before about weathering and backdrops,I'll sort something out for the future

 

[smudger1960]

You've captured the spirit of this and no mistake, Brian. I just love the Napoleonics, as you well know, and this is a great example.
You're output is phenomenal

Alan

Many thanks Alan for your kind words,I too am a big napoleonic fan,especially the imperial guard,

Hi terry,I'm much more of a confident painter than I was a few years back,and I enjoy the challenge of a difficult subject now

 

[TERRYSOMME1916]

Hi Brian I am still being controlled by the paint, I can only dream of the day when you can look at a subject and know that you have the skills to complete it to a high standard without having your head melted along the way, I actually hold my breath when painting certain details and finish with a gasp for air and to think that the hobby is meant to be relaxing lol.

Hi terry,the best advice I could give you is to stick at it,practise and the more you paint will give you more confidence,once I learnt how to paint a tartan to an acceptable standard I didn't look back,if you can paint a good tartan most other things will seem easy,stick at it my friend
