Hi Luca!

I know you are an oil painter, can you tell me wich colors you use to reproduce such a fine leather look?
Grazie!

Hee hee heee !! Excellent Luca, but he is only an old chappy hey, who likes his mead a bit too much.lol. Very well done as always.

hello to all Friends

My usual blend consists of: Titanium white + yellow + Mars Mars brown raw umber +.
The lights are obtained by adding titanium white at the base, and the maximum of 4 lights with deep flesh Mussini. The first step is done by adding shadow to the base more raw umber and a touch of cobalt blue. The shadows will be obtained by adding successive cadmiun deep red, and always a bit of black at the base.
