This one is on the GA for about 10 years and never got the guts to paint him.
It took me around 2 months every evening painting for 2 hours.
As always painted with oils.


every comment good or bad, some learning steps, are always welcome.

Nicely done Marc! A complex and colorful figure.

Glad you have managed to finish this cracker Marc..... Mike

Lovely finish to this piece Marc. Certainly worth the time you’ve put into it. Like the way you’ve done the leopard skin and the blue of the uniform really pops.

Neal

Kevin,

The leopard skin goes as follow: Painting with yellow ochre. Highlight with white, shade with burnt umber.
After that with burnt umber make the marks for the spots.
fill the spots with burnt sienna.
That's all, and some patient.

Marc

Fine looking piece Marc. Somethings turn out better slow cooked.
