Hi all

Well I asked for her so I thought Ken deserved to see my attempt to add some painty stuff to his sculpt

I have deliberately painted her separately from her patient ... on the origional painting there is a distinct difference in the base colours used.

Also the woman's face is very much the focal point of this image..

Please feel free to comment, correct or criticise

And first step ...



I shall be aping the original picture for the feel of this.... details may vary

Good start Mark. I'll be following.

Roger.

Mark a great start and I can't wait to see more progress.

Cheers Ken

Looking great so far Mark.
I'm always impressed by painters who tackle flats.
A real challenge to put aside many established 'round' painting techniques
and develop new styles to create depth.

Derek

Excellent 3D effect, and attractive colours.

Cheers,

Carl, Roger, Ken, Derek, Adrian, Pedro, Steve, Marc and John!

Many thanks for the positive response everyone!

Some work on the guys face.

Very cool job my freind!!

Alexandros

Mark ,
Off to a good start,Look forward to more progress.

Wow, I love the flesh tones you have going. Who makes this flat and where can I get one? Also where could I find a picture of the original painting?
Thanks

ditto!

Great start! The lighter flesh tones on her face will stand out against the soldier's flesh tones. A good contrast.

What is the dark line under her lip? A stray brush hair?

...and it's been a few hours since your last post; is it done yet?

Cheers,

Glen

Good job Mark, i like the faces.
Ciao by Maco

Mark, you have made a brilliant start mate, I look forward to seeing this great model completed.
Regards
Dennis

Andy, Bob, Gordy, Glen, Maco and Dennis ... Cheers everyone

Bob, I'm sure you noticed the other thread for this and the painting is here.

Glen, the dark line is part of kens sculpt, it represents the round bit of her chin just under the lip....


I am finding this a very relaxing process and quite fun....

Blocked in most of the colours and starting to add some features to the clothes etc. Long way to go yet...

Mark, excellent work on the faces and nice progress, be careful though as they can become quite addictive, as I found out.

Cheers Ken
