Hello friends I comebak I start a fantastic old figure Krasinky,
this some pics in progress ciao from Luca

Great painting Luca. I'm fascinated by the process of painting from head to toe over unprimed metal. A very different technique to my own, by the results speak for themselves.

Very nice. I have always liked this figure.
Joe

+1 Agreed!!

Fantastic paint Lucas!!

Yes very nice indeed, like where this is going - well done.

I'm sure that Luca is priming his figures. He doesn't prime the figure totally at once.
I asked it a few years ago.

But the painting is amazing.

Marc

I read some time ago that Acrylics painted onto metal do not need priming as the acrylic does not react with the metal-unlike Oils.
Is Luca an example of this....I know of at least one top UK painter who doesn't use any primer also.
Do other Planeteers agree with this premise?
Great painting by the way Luca, these Le Cimier Napoleonics Generals make colourful subjects.
Keith

Marc's right .... you have good memory ...Spread the primer as I go along with painting so I can keep it firmly in one hand while I paint the details of the top with a better end result in my opinion.
Finally he will soon be released on my book about the Knights of Christ where I will explain my technique of the oil painting well hello and thanks Luca

HI Luca,

What do you use as primer? I assume this is brushed on?

Keith

Very nice

54mm? Never ceases to amaze me what talent you 54mm painters have. The detail is just great. Very nice painting.

ciao Keith, I used Grey umbrol n 1 I don't used spray I used my brush ciao Luca

Thanks Gellso for your compliments, love to paint 54 mm scale ciao from Luca

Hi Luca,

Thanks for the info,

Keith

Is this book only about painting figures??
When is it coming out???
Is it in English???
So many questions, but need so many answers.....
Because if it is: i want it.

Marc

Hello Marc, if it will produce the magazine Italian Soldatini, I think this will be in two languages at least I hope Ciao Luca

Luca,
Great looking so far.
Count me in for a book. I have always admired your work.
Cheers
John
