    Hi Al

    WOW that's a real nice bit of work love the facial tones with both Blues looking wonderful .

    If I may ,it might be the picture ..the corner star on the folded flag looks like it needs a little tidying.


    Can you share any mixes for the painting please ( if you have them )

    Thanks for sharing

    Hi Nap
    Had another look and yep star does need a little tidy up will get onto that now.
    All done in JoSonja acrylics apart from face being done in W&N Oils and trousers done in Vallejo acrylics a combination of flat blue and dark blue with a dot of js skin tone base added for the highlights.
    The jacket is JS Storm blue and carbon black and once again a dot of skin tone base for highlight
    Thanks for your comments much appreciated
