All images had to be taken with the flash on,as daylight alters the colour to much,but it is the closest I think to what im seeing ...if a little bit richer.

Thanks

Turned out well Carl. Like the leather and the woodgrain. Oh, and the face.

I believe you did some outstanding paintjob on this bust.
But on the other hand the pictures don't do justice to you hard work.

Meizi - Hi,many thanks for your comments !

Artur - Hi Artur my freind,thanks alot buddy

Matt - Thanks for your comments,I use oilpaint which really helps me as I cannot work out acrylics ! painting in basic high and lowlights wet on wet and then sharpening it up and addin more contrast wet on dry... I do all camo in enamel and use thinned oils to shade and highlight and thats my basic way of painting.If you need anything specific just send me an e mail its cool Matt,and im sure many of the other artists here would be glad to help also.

Hi Steve hows it goin,thanks for the feadback mate...see you at Hinckley if not before at the shows,hope the sculpting is going well buddy
