Many thanks, Olga! I always wondered how is paint patterns/

Zernina....Many thanks for taking the time and effort to explain to us mere mortals how you accomplish this beautiful work. The photo SBS with your easily understood footnotes are a godsend.

Oh ma'Gosh, Zerina! I am so glad that I didn't miss this.
A great tutorial, with excellent photos. The overall effect
with having a multi toned background on his shirt, on which
you drew the linear pattern was just super. That certainly
gives me some ideas, for future figure projects. Thank you
so much for taking the time to post this most helpful
thread, Fair Lady! Voon da Bar . . . .

Most interesting thread and an outstanding result. Thank you very much!

A reminder of the difference (gulf) between 'painters' such as myself and true artists such as Zerina. Superb work and skill being demonstrated and shared here - thank you!

Hi Zernina.

Do you use a painting medium or just water?
Did you have a design illustration for this that you based your pattern on?

Thanks in advance for sharing your work.
