The oils are now on the table. . . let the Game begin!
This is a deceptively easy bust to paint. . . largely one-piece, mostly polychromatic armour. HOW- EVER, the limited palette, and the multi-contact layering hides any number of pitfalls for the unwary.
I will, of course, work from the "inside, out", per usual. What needs to be examined--and considered--carefully, is the order of items painted. Thus, I began by painting the black neckband. This vital garment is the "bridge" between the head and the torso, and once it--and the neck--are dry, the assembly of the bust can be completed.
This may--or may not--be my last painting entry this week. . . We will all know by tomorrow, Thursday latest. . .
Until then. . .

Augie,
ReplyDeleteGood stuff! Keep it coming. I'm looking forward to see this project progress. I know you don't post many pictures, but when this one gets pretty far along and worthy of an image or two, I would love to see what he looks like.

WELCOME BACK, dear friend! GREAT to see your inspiring comments once again!!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I get the head done, and complete assembly of the bust, I will post a few ip shots. But hopefully you will have the opportunity to see the ip bust before then. . . ;-)
Thanks again!
