I can see this becoming VERY popular - very nicely done all round. Thanks for posting.

Hi Martyn,

I use a mix of humbrol gold, raw umber, winsor green, ivory black (all oil colours).

try to use a dark mix to the bottom and to the recess parts and pure gold to the very top edges.
You can then make a mix with prevalent green and apply washes.

Very excellent work!!!I like the war paint and realistic Helmet

Babis.

Thanks so much!

Giovanni

As general notes, the blue tatoos of the celts are not tatoos at all, were war paint meaning that were not permanent neither too much detailed.

This doesn't mean that the celts had no tatoos, but were not the blue one in the iconography (and on the busts you see here).

Thanks and hope this helps.

Giovanni,that is a superb piece of pianting,everything just sticks right out out you,i love the blue war paint and the eyes,this is one of the best celt subjects i've seen,excellent.
