Divio Juckal -- Painting (I): U/C'ing Flesh

I am trying to get at least an hour's worth of bench-time per night--so far, so good. . .

Tonight was spent u/c'ing the hairless areas on our vârcolac. I used Reaper's Yellowed Bone and Vallejo's Beige-Red in a loose, free-mixed application. It was more important to get a feel for the topography/ contours of the sculpture than it was to effect absolute coverage. I also took advantage of the "wetness" of the Reaper base colour to block in some salient highlights, etc. Again, as much an exercise in familiarization as it was a warm-up with the brushes.

A very satisfying outing: not too demanding with great results. The next step on DJ will be the hairless flesh in oils with a transitional grisaille along the edges of the fur. . .

Stay tuned!
