OK Guy, just how do you do that flesh work? Love it.
Working on Athena (don’t know how to do a link, but search forum)Hey Jay ! Nice to see you here sir ! What have you been cooking recently ?
I start colouring the bust with enamel colours. I paintbrush on two layers of paint and let them cure for 24 hours. I then continue painting with oils.
For the flesh colours I have on my palette :
-flaked white,
- yellow ocre,
- burnt sienna,
- ultramarine blue,
- burnt umber,
- flesh ocre.
I start from medium shades and build up darker and lighter shades over different stages.
I never thin my oils, they're pure paint when I apply these. I remove the excess with a fine, soft brush (colours get blended smoothly while removing them).
After each session I let cure overnight and sometimes two days.
Hope this helps sir ?
When I'll paint another bust, I'll write down each step with photos added to them.
Best regards ! AG.
