This is very nice Stephen, as usual a nicely complweted and posed piece.

Thanks very much for posting, RobH.

Hello Stephen,Excellent painting as always.Very realistic.Great photos.

Regards,John

Your work is amazing！！！！！
I have the experience by which I painted this figure, too.
I thought a very wonderful sculpture.
And your work is quite more wonderful than my work.
There were very much learned parts for me.
I congratulate completion.

Stephen, beautiful paintwork on this bust!

Marcel.

Guys,thanks a lot.

Mitsutaka, I agree the figure is a nice sculpt but I didn't really like the eyes area

Stephen

Ok, here goes my second post on this thread.

I have the exact same figure in front of me and I like to ask, did you paint the figure in oils or acrylics? The other questions is what colour/s did your use to achieve the base colour for the uniform?

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi Stephen,
Beautiful painted bust.
Pete

Very nice, and a question...

Stephen,
Congrats on a well done piece. I was wondering if you would share your technique for the cammo on his face?

Thank you,
Steve

Guys thanks.

Steve the camo on his face was done with chalk pastels. I grated some black chalk pastels and with a flat brush used sideways I carefully applied it gradually.

Stephen

Daniel, the bust was painted in acrylics. The base colours were NAC05(andrea)+ AV976Buff +AV884 in varying mixes to achieve different tones for the different items. The uniform was washed with a diluted mix of NAC05+touch of black.Hope this helps

Stephen

The info helps a bit I'm just getting an idea on what colour you used since I haven't really painted that colour (yet again I haven't painted all so much in the past 6 or so months).

Cheers,
Daniel

Daniel,if you need any help I will try my best
