Title: Grenadier a Cheval
Post by: Roger on December 24, 2012, 11:55:40 AM

54mm from http://www.fredericus-rex.de/ painted with W&N Artisan oils. I'm still getting to grips with these paints and still plenty to learn.

Well done very nice painting you are learning all the time oils are so much easier.

Thank you Chris. There's no going back now.  ;)
Except for the Scholtz Leuthen set that is half completed in acrylics, I'll have to finish it off with them or it'll look odd.  ::)

Roger looking good, you certainly know how to use a brush, whether it's water or oil based  ;D

Hi Roger
It can be the light, it can be the camera, it can be hasard, it can be my spectacles, but I prefer thinking it is oil which gives this particular satin and contrasted look to the figure, and consequently, a particular life
Congratulations Roger and try harder
Eric

Hello Eric, it could be any of those but let's hope it's the paint.  ;D
I do find these paints have much more vibrancy than the acrylics and make the figures "pop" as they say.

Roger.
