Just like ridin' a bike. . .
It has been close to 20 years since I have painted blackened, rust-distressed armour. BUT. . . by the time the armour was overcoated in black oils (via stippling), I was "at home"! Using mid-tone ochres and Mars colours, I built-up a surface layer of rust that will subsequently be enhanced chromatically and volumetrically with rust-coloured pigments.
The plate is now effectively done--and I am DELIGHTED! All that remains to be done is the final weathering that will integrate these accessory pieces with the overall presentation.
NEXT: the plackart. . .
FOLLOW-UP. . . Sculpting the plackart has been completed--and the plackart has been uc'd!
