    To ALL of YOU and ALL YOUR OVERPRAISING......THANKS :(

    I'm posting the mix and my approach to the Blue........

    I started with a base coat of Andrea Prussian Blue, but then I remembered that any weathering on it will leave those dreaded chalky streaks :angry:

    So I repainted the whole thing with Maimeri's tube acrylic Navy Blue + a bit of Black to darken things down............

    Highlights were painted with Navy Blue, for the second highlight I added Paynes Grey and a dab of Flesh tint (all Maimeri tubes) because I didn't want to risk any chalkyness appearing due to the first basecoat........I added some more Flesh tint for the extreme highlights..........

    Shadows were Blue Black (Navy Blue + Black) and the extreme shadows were Black again Maimeri tube.......

    Hope this satisfies any questions regarding the Blue.........any other mixes required, I'd be more then happy to share..........

    Ray ;)

    Hi Ray,

    I really love your vibrant painting style. A real visual treat from my usual "muddy" palette. Keep it up!

    cheers,
