Very good here we are starting the project with a figure, this is it:). Motivation
: I must confess that my preference for one or another historical period when choosing a figure is completely void. So my motivation to paint this figure has been as always, purely aesthetic . To say that sculpture is a wonder, as all it does Joaquin Palacios, and diversity of detail makes it very fun to paint.
Atmosphere: The idea was to place the piece in a cave at night, where the water broke and they were going to stop wrecks.
Painting: Since wanted that night was atmosphere, I have tried to illuminate the right and make the shading prevail, using pure black for the last shadow in almost all parts of the figure. As
new to me, I tried to use colors Citadel, either alone or mixed with Vallejo (be careful because some colors do not mix well at all).
From top to bottom:
-Hat. Base: Black Chaos ( citadel ) + Snakebite leather ( citadel). The Chaos Black satin a bit, so that the leather does not hurt. Lights: Snakebite Leather . Just apply two lights and the rest I did by tapping with Snakebite Beige Leather + MC 917. Shade: Base + Chaos Black to reach pure black.
-handkerchief. Base: red carmine MC 965. Lights: Base + Meat golden MC 845. Shadows: Base + Black MC 950.
-Cara.Base: Brown Arena 876.Luces MC: Base + Dwarf Flesh ( citadel ) + Elf Flesh ( citadel). Shadows: Dark Flesh ( citadel). Medium shade in Scarlet cheeks MC 965. Temples: Red Violet MC 812. On the face is where most have varied my usual mix, saving the base and mid-tones. It was the first time I used colors citadel for the skin, and I liked very much for your transparency. In the photos I do not get to see, but we draw a cut on his left cheek, using Elf and Flesh Dark Flesh pure to simulate the scar.
-Jacket. Base: Brown olive MC 889. Lights: Base + Snakebite Leather Brown + Arena 876 + MC Brown MC cover 986. Shadows: Base + Black MC 950.

-Belts. Base: 40% Black MC 950 60% Orange intense MC 851. Lights: Base + + Meat intense golden orange MC MC 845 + White 951. Shade: Base + Black. As in the hat only apply three lights, and the rest tap to get the texture. With the different shades of light was also making Cortecito . To finish apply a dot on the parts of Black shadows MC brilliant Prussian blue 861 + MC 965.
- pants. Base: 80% Prussian blue MC MC 965 + Black 950. Lights: Prussian Blue MC 965 + Meat golden MC 845. Shade: Base + Black MC 950. To stain the glazes did pants with olive MC Brown 889 first and then with oil filters using burnt sienna.
-Socks. Base: Beige MC 917. To work this part applies to oil filters of natural soil, burnt sienna and black. Accumulating more and more paint on the bottom. When the oil was dry, reiluminé wrinkle Beige MC 917.

Well I think these are the most representative in Fig. If you want mixtures a supplement that you miss me, just you have to ask.
