Title: "derviche à la rose" - 80mm
Post by: Daniel CANET on March 13, 2017, 04:28:39 PM

I give you my last piece to know the "dervish à la rose" edited by Jupiter Miniatures, sculpted by Daniel LEPELTIER on an idea of Michel BRASSEUR and a drawing by Yasemin KARABENLI.
Not accustomed to making busts I had however a precise idea of what I wanted to obtain; I wanted the eyes to be attracted by the eyes of the blind dervish which led me to a particular illumination of the face.
The entire piece except the face is painted with a mixture of sepia, neutral and white titanium; The amount of neutral hue is adjusted to go from the sepia of the hand to the gray of the turban. The face is made with a mixture of bladder green, alizarin crimson, Indian yellow tip and titanium white, the shadows are made by adding sepia.
I do not know if I succeeded in my challenge but I enjoyed myself .

Excellente interprétation
Je ferais juste une petite remarque sur la lumière de la mâchoire qui me semble trop brutale; j'ai l'impression que le maxillaire remonte

I mean that the straight light under the right cheek is too hard and gives it a concave shape which I find disturbing
But that is just my vision

Hello

As the drawing is after a picture, here is this as a guide for painting.
The title of the picture is The Man with a Rose / L'Homme à la Rose. It features Mahmad Niyaz, craftsman master, bazar of Tashkourgan in Afghanistan.
It was taken in April 1968 by Roland and Sabrina Michaud and it was published by Hachette in 1980 with other pictures in a book entitled The Orient in a Mirror (ISBN n° 2 85 108 335 X).
I recommend that book to all people who likes the Middle East as it contrasts nowadays pictures with old drawings.

To daniel


Painting my figure I realized that it was not the cheek which bothered me but the neck
The light is to strong for me
