Re: SS - GUNNER..FEB 17th-THE FACE...

Hi!

...let´s go to the face...as usual,I used oils...to do the job:

-two parts of Burnt Siena.
-two parts of Yellow ochcre.
-one part of raw umber.

...after the usual excess removal,I made the highlights with yellow and white using the blending techique.

...the eyes were painted with Vallejo acrylics and after dried I used a small amount of liquid Future wax...

..I enjoy the final results and I hope you too... :laugh: ...look the pics...





















Regards for all!

Luiz
