Title: the landsknets editor Jean-Jacques Mineur
Post by: Isabelle on February 22, 2014, 05:04:09 AM

[attach=1]Hello, :)
It's a set I'd finish to paint in August.
I'd just added the camp's fire on the left I'd bought  in August in Kulmbach

Nicely done! The fading of the colors from front to back is a nice touch. I notice the blue on the cook pots appear to be the same or similar as the blues used on the tent stripes, the armor in the tent, the tablecloth, and the clothing of the man sitting on the wooden chest. Was this deliberate?


Cheers,


Glen

Hello Glen, ;)
Thanks very much. I have a lot of things to learn I must continued to progress. ;)
 I've used similars colors for the armor and cook pots to paint metal : blue grey, grey and black with white. Whereas for the tent stripses and the clothing of the man sitting on the left there are severals blues only. For the tablecloth I used blue grey with grey but not with the same quantity. :)

Very nice work, Isabelle. Your background painting makes a nice compliment to the figures - all very coordinated. Well done.

Hello Pj (excuse me but I don't know your first name  ;))

Thanks very much for your answer. I've painted the background on the copy of a painting I had found in a book about the golden age of the Dutch painting.  ;)
