That looks awesome. Oils give such a nice depth of colour.

[Ardennen]

Thanks billpe

Yes, I paint only with oils - for acrylics I'm too stupid

Good Morning,
The figure is amazing. You can see the wear of the campaign on both the man and his equipment. Don't laugh but I paint my figures with flat enamels. Acrylics and brushes only frustrate me unless it is a very tiny area or part.
regards,
Painless

Really?! Oils take allot of patience and skill to work with, especially to your level. I don't think you can get the sort of tonal depth you can get with oils using acrylics anyway! What oil paints do you use?

[Ardennen]

Thank you Painless

@billpe: I use the oil paints of 502-Abteilung and van Gogh.

Regards,

Erik

Beautiful....

If I may ask, how long does it take you start to finish to do a figure in oil?

[Ardennen]

Thanks to all of you!

dgsselkirk: that is always different - depending on the figure. On this figure I've painted about 25 hours.

Cheers,

Erik
