Hey Guys,I don't know much about politics and personally I don't like it ; Therefore,I will leave politics to the politicians. :lol: :lol:

I choose to go on painting and sharing it with all you nice people.

I finally got around to painting the legs and feet .
Advice and critique is certainly welcome.











Next I will paint the sandels , arms and hands, hopefully time permiting, I will be able to post some more pictures over the weekend.

Awesome painting Roc......I love the skin tones and the leather effect you achieve.

Roc,my friend, as always !! What's the colour mix for the sandals ? Cheers.
Kenneth.

Hey Guy, thanks for the nice words,much appreciated.

Roc.

Kenneth, my friend, thanks for the ecouragement much appreciated.

I really haven't painted the sandels yet, what you see is a very weak undercoat of apple barrell acrylic.

I will paint the sandels in oils over the weekend and I'll post some pictures.

the following is the formula that I will be using.

Sandels.

Undercoated with Apple Barrel acrylic Burnt Umber,

1 - Base= Mars brown + Alizzarin brown.

2- Memium shadow = Windser blue added to base mix.

3- Deep shadow = pure Windsor blue.

4- Medium highlight = Mars brown + Mars orange.

5- second highlight = Mars orange + Naples yellow.

6- Extreme highlights = Naples yellow.

When dry I will give it deeper shades with glazes of Windsor blue and more enhanced highlights With glazes of Naples yellow, and into the oven at a temperature of 140 degrees for a couple of days.

weathering is done by applying a couple of controlled washes of Raw umber.

Roc,thanks for the colour mixes;I'll keep it on file for my next Roman/Greek figure.Looking forward to the finished product.Cheers !
Kenneth :lol:
