Hi guys,

Recently Carl Reid posted a preview of his beautiful "Man in a Gorget and Cap" bust based on the Rembrandt painting of the same name. I've been blessed with the opportunity to paint the box art for this piece, to be released soon from United Empire. Carl sculpted a fantastic face for this piece, and I thought I'd give a little preview of my own by showing my progress on the face so far. Thanks for looking!

Wow, Jason, with box art painting like that I think this one will sell well.

Amazing how the level of sculpture and painting continues to go so high it's tough to keep up......so what do you do?.....the best you can at the level that you're at...................
Excellent work in both sculpt and paint on this piece.......Regards....Wayne

just WOW !

Hello Jason, This is some brilliant painting. Can't wait to see the completed piece. Regards, SG

Started it very well. Just like it should be. Light is perfectly done.

Did you paint the face in acrylics or oils?

Amazing !

Great start Jason.
May I suggest that you look again to the left upper eyelid. It seems that you painted a dark line wich ended into a dark spot.
It is possible that the angle of the picture gives this effect, hard to say.

Marc

Great brush skills Jason.
Cheers,
Keith

Excellent! Great concept, and I hope we see more of it.

Carl is quickly become my favorite sculptor...with apologies to Mike Good.
