Title: Too old
Post by: Richard on May 20, 2023, 12:41:36 PM

Hello !As I am too old for managing to paint my all figures, sometimes I order painting works by others painters.This time, I contacted a young painter. More accustomed to fantasy figures, he paints in acrylic. Here is his first attempt : Issos battle. For my part, I continue to peint. Here is my lasted work : French dragons (reign of the King Louis XIII).Richard

All are nicely painted!  I do like your oil painted figures--or the finish to me looks like oils.  Very good job.

Why would you stop painting ?



Your painting is better than many of us ..  I am 77, also old, and slowing down, but as long as we have passion ad pleasure, why stopping??


Keep going, make us still dreaming about your work, we do appreciate it so much (I'm collecting picture, having thousands of most of you....)


I am really impressed by the qualitu of this acrylic painter in 30mm !!!!!!!!
Very impressive !!!!

Dear Michel,You are too lenient to me. You don't need to be taught. Your way of painting is more subtle than mine.Richard
