WIP Young Miniatures Arabian Knight bust

Nice work with metallic oils, they have come a long way since I gave up on them in the 80's & 90's. Not sure if your familiar with the world of flat painting but Mike Taylors book 'The art of the flat tin figure' explains NMM with oils very well. Flats it has to be said lend themselves to this method as you can only look at them one way.

I'm currently experimenting with doing similar to your approach but with acrylics, so this has been very informative, thank you.

Cheers Simon

I missed your post Phil, what a job! Your step by step are always very clear and very well illustrated. Too bad I don't paint in oils, it would help me a lot. Thanks for sharing your skills!!

Metallic oils? Something I'd never even considered. You seem to have mastered them though and got a great result here.
