Title: Tatar warrior on horse back XIIIth C - 30mm
Post by: Hannibal on January 03, 2017, 02:06:13 PM

I bought ten (10) oil painted Mongosl and Tatar warriors and decided to repaint them at today's standard.

This one is a Goldberg flat  Go 1343:

Original painting   =>   Brutto unpainting   =>   After preparation   =>   Primary painting

The best known Tatar in the USA is Charles Dennis Buchinsky, or Charles Bronson (1921-2003).
He was the 11th of 15 children born to a Tatar Lithuanian immigrant father and a Lithuanian-American mother.

I am adding a conversion of the previous pic into SEPIA colour.  It removes the colours to keep their values only, so balance between lights and shadows !   It allows also to detect weaknesses and mistakes in these values, easier to see than in colours.
