My first flat - Ney in Russia after Yvon. About 54mm. Arylics and inks. After dull coating I added Liquitex Iridescent White for the snow. Mounted on a foam meat tray to add to the snow effect. I might play with the faces a bit more but essentially done.

Amazing work and that for your first.

Well done!

Excellent Colin, will you be doing more flats?

Just seen this on FB. looks great Colin, superb paint work.

In a bit Roger. I have two more GE vignettes in 30mm - Closing the Gates at Hougoumont and the Death of Ferdinand Lariboissiere at Borodino. But not right away. I will turn back to Lt. paulee in the short run.

Photos above are too dark vs the eye, so I will try to post something better later.

That's a great job for your first flat well done hope to see more from you in the future. well done.

Went a bit quickly as I was interested in seeing the result. I would do a lot differently next time out. But I learned a lot.

Another two easy ones... I don't think. Looking forward to seeing those when you're ready to have another go Colin.

Very nice work! Since I've just started a flat for the first time - Napoleon Crossing the Alps - it's an inspiration.
BTW, who made this flat and Closing the Gates at Hougoumont. I'd like to get copies for my table...

Great one .
If you first is so superb I cant wait to see your next one.

Lovely paintwork.
Especially for a first.

Very well done and it looks great in the frame.

Love it Colin! I thought about picking one up in Chicago, but ran out of funds ( as it stands, I'm already in the dog house because the visa bill came yesterday).

I really like how you've achieved depth in this piece, and it looks awesome in the frame. I'll have to give flats a try soon. Good luck at the Toronto show if you're attending.
