    Like the vibrant red you’ve used for the bonnet dicing & plume, Tony.

    Hi Jed,

    Thanks for your comments. I started using the stippling technique a couple of years ago and I’ve found it takes a bit longer to execute, but not that much. This face took me two nights to paint , roughly 4-5 hours in total. I find the stippling itself to be quite easy to apply. The key is to keep your paint thin and the tip of your brush clean.

    Hi guys

    Still base coating some of the smaller details. Haven’t even started on the tartan yet.

    Hi guys

    I’ve had almost 6 months off from painting due to a serious mojo deficiency, however it’s starting to return now. I want to finish this magnificent bust. I’m currently working on the tartan. I recently painted the two medals and ribbons and I’ve also added some oil washes to the face.

    Final pics.
    I’ve really enjoyed painting this magnificent bust. Despite the lengthy break, I’ve managed to finish this beauty and I’m pretty happy with the final result. Thanks for the comments and encouragement.

    Absolutely superb, well worth the wait. Lovely painting and you probably get asked a lot of questions but what do use for gold braid?

    Fantastic work, Tony. Any figure that can withstand that sort of closeup photography has to be top-notch, & your projects always are that good.

    Thanks for your comments guys. They are greatly appreciated.

    Bob, the gold braid was actually painted in various shades of brown and beige. I don’t use metallics on gold braid as it just doesn’t look right to me.

    Great work Tony, he's turned out well. I think you've done a great job on the feather bonnet.
