    Here's the finished work of Michael Miniatures Catherine the Great, sculpted by Aaron Brown.
    Always wish my photos were a little better, but that's another matter. I really enjoyed the process,
    and I haven't painted to many female faces, so it was a challenge for me. All in all I'm pleased.
    Painted all in acrylics, and a little printers ink for some of the metals.
    Comments are always welcome, and thank you for looking.
    Best Regards,
    Rod

    Hi Rod, Amazing detail. I will enjoy looking at this up close next month. Nice job on the face, jewels and clothes. Looks like that dress was fun with all those dots. Her hair looks brown from the back and gray in front. Is that just a result of the photography?

    Wow !!
    That's absolutely fantastic painting of a very nice sculpt.
    Love the skintones that you've achieved.
    The embroidery on the dress and cape are outstanding.

    Thanks for everyone's comments, I really appreciate it. I'm pleased about the skintone comments. I haven't painted too many women, so I had to re-think the painting process. I had to tone down the contrasts a lot,
    and used different mixes to get the result I was looking for. I pretty happy with the way it came together. Pete, the bust is based on a painting which showed greying in the front, and a little more in other areas. I used
    a grey-brown mix through out, and then added a flesh color to the base for the high highlights.
    Again thanks to everyone for looking.
