Finally after a few months i finished Carl Reid's excellent sculpting of this giant bust.
With painting the white I lost more hair, but i thought it was satisfying.
Hope you enjoy the looks of it as I enjoy the painting.
Any comment good or bad is welcome.

Nice job Marc. That lacing looks very good mate. White shirt could use a touch more contrast for me tho.

Cheers

Ron

Thanks Ron,
I had more contrast into the white shirt, but that looked very unnatural. So i brought it back.
Anyway, thanks for the comment.

marc

Thanks Carl.
I'm always posting my work that i finished. Infact it seems to getting slowly because i think i'm gonna be to critic about myself when i'm painting.
thanks for looking and commenting.

Marc

Very nice Marc

Well done

Excellent painting Marc. I have saved these pics for when I paint mine.

Ronald and Guy
Thanks for the positive feedback.

Man, that is beautiful. I personally think the larger the figure the less need for heavy contrast. So for me that shirt is gorgeous, but then I think the whole thing is marvelous. Thanks for sharing!

Very nice Marc...the whole piece is well toned and the detail is fantastic...well done mate.

William and Steve,

Great work Marc, it is a very nice figure to paint but seeing that braid work brings back nightmares

Andrew

Thanks Andrew.
the braidwork wasn't the nightmare for me. It was the white.

Marc

What an excellent job Marc, looking forward to seeing it at Euro.

Excellent paintwork, Marc! I love this sculpture very much and you did a great painting work on this.
your painting work is clean and vivid. i love its skintone, uniform, and whites.

What i gotta say more then thank you.

Marc

Thanks Derek.
I'll be there without figures. There are not good enough to show them on the tables. Maybe on the stand of my club.

Marc

Wow, that is to much feathers......
Thank you so much

A lovely sculpted piece very well painted Marc. I like this very much. I am one of the few that likes painting white and I think you have made an excellent job of this. Well done Sir.
