Eludia Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Hey folks,This is my latest finished piece. A couple of firsts with this one; my first bust from Young Miniatures and my first time using a limited palette.Apart from the metals, the bust was painted using the following palette (all W&N Artisan water mixable oils):Cad Red MediumYellow OchrePaynes GreyIvory BlackTitanium WhiteIt proved surprisingly versatile and quite liberating and has made this project my most satisfying and stress-free to date, and by a fair margin. Only having 5 paints to think about frees up your mind to concentrate on other aspects of painting and I'd highly recommend giving it a go for at least one piece.Comments and critique are most welcome, as always 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giemme Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Those final "weathering" touch ups made for a really outstanding result! Particularly the dicing and the white straps, and the face too!. Great job. Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 To obtain this result with 5 paints is truly amazing! It really looks lifelike! I am not a fan of busts, but you could shift my attitude with such builds! Congrats JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
