TOPIC: Now I see the detail! |
Standard User Posts: 16 Munds3 5th Aug 2017 02:18:46 Test painting some 1805 Russians the army painter way. This is skeletal bone primer then soft tone. You see the detail clearly and it's AMAZING! **Updated with photos, figured out with web help on how to use image shack to host. Sorry for learning curve!!*** |

All I can see is a little blue square with a question mark in it. A little goes a long way |
Standard User Posts: 426 njt236 6th Aug 2017 01:04:20 I see no detail. !!!! Through the travail of the ages Midst the pomp and toil of war Have I fought and strove and perished Countless times upon this star. G S Patton |

Standard User Posts: 16 Munds3 8th Aug 2017 04:32:00 Making progress....and figured how to post pics through image shack. My hand is not super steady, but I think they are turning out ok. These need more work: cuffs and color, musket stock and barrel, dots for brass... then maybe a light soft tone wash to finish. Comments?

Detail has now appeared and very nice it is too. A little goes a long way |

I picked this up on the forum about faces - black or brown first coat then a dab of flesh on the nose, chin, cheekbones, ears (if visible). The wash in soft tone should work well. A little goes a long way |
Standard User Posts: 404 Glenn Pearce 9th Aug 2017 12:38:21 Hello Munds3! Fabulous start, good stuff. I paint from the bottom up and then from the inside out. It allows you to position your brush better and straighten your lines/cuts as you move up and out. For example in order I paint boots, pants, coats, belts, collars, face, hair, hats, musket, roll, backpack, the rest is easy. Best regards, Glenn |
