Congratulations Mike. It looks a great article and thank you for sharing your amazing painting techniques. Loads of patience and skill. Although a small contingent the New Zealanders made a tremendous contribution on Gallipoli; their assault on and defence of Chunuk Bair was gallantry personified ,and again at Hill 60.

Mike,I have to say that looks beautiful,the clothing,webbing and face are all beautifully done

Thanks Chris & Brian for your encouragement. This was a special project I wanted to capture the personality of this young soldier who would see much more before end of WW1.

Brian hope to meet you later this year @EuroExpo & Chris perhaps again in a month or two.

Trying to show ‘Vic’ on a bright, sunny day looking down from Chunuk Bair, Gallipoli, August 1915.
Had to reshoot him for potential updates print article...
You interested in learning more about how I painted him?

Great work Mike.
The textiles are amazing (as your normal trade mark)
Well done Sir
Keith

Any advice on your painting would be greatly accepted by the majority on here I'm sure. Good work.

Amazing work Mike, very realistic result and having painted a WW1 bust in oils recently I can only say that you have the uniform and everything bang on, the texturing is certainly the way to go, so yes lets have some tips on how to do this please.
