Simply stunning David. A real lesson in oil painting a face.
regards, Ron

Extremly good! Love the face so much.
Congratulations. Meizi

Wow Dave,

I cannot add anything that has been said, quite stunning, thanks alot for it. I was concerned by the wrinkles on the face of the master, thought it made him look a little old but your brushwork has aceived what I envisoned, a weather beaten veteran. Again well done, look forward to see it's progression.

Soulful...

Cheers,
Marcel.

Great start David.
The skin tone and a facial expression are very wonderful.
I'd like to follow.

I can't add any more than what's already been said , a truly stunning paint job . Has anyone else noticed the likeness of the face to the famous actor Trevor Howard , even the nose is the same .
chippy

Thanks Mitsutaka for your comments,thanks Gordon had not noticed the likeness although I thought he looked a bit like Pete Postlethwaite.The Redcoat is progressing well so should have some photos soon.


Cheers David

Thats great work dave,i like the painting and lights on the lips,the face looks very realistic,like a veteran,looking forward to the redcoat painting

Brian

Thanks Brian,tried to get that look and it seems to have worked.


Cheers David

Cracking stuff David...

it's not my era of interest but it intrigues me for some reason. I think it it the toughened weathered look you have given him.

Thanks Dan glad you like him.


Cheers David

Excellent painting, i watched peter morton sculpting this and i think that the painting has really captured the look Pete was after. Very nice.
Pete used shnozzer durante as an inspiration for this bust.Hes behind me as i type this so he wont mind.

Looking like a real winner Dave,Face is fantastic and the tricorn looks like real felt, and the subtly on the shirt is terrific,the rest for you should be a doddle.
