I am going to do this 'old school' ,so my officer is going to be painted with enamels and oils.
You can learn a lot from 'old'mastersFrancois Verlinden and 'our' Bob Letterman in this book.
For the ones who likes to PAINT HORSES;chapter VII is about that![I know several people around here on MA like to ]
I got to say that I haven't painted figures for YEARS!
hmy:
May be this is going to be a faillure....I don't know...just like to try how this turns out.:hmmm
Ron, actually, I only wrote the text and captions for that book. That was back in the day when Francios and I were close friends. He had his "System" and that was what the book was based on. I used the "Chicago" system and I used to tease him as I thought my way of painting figures was superior.
One day I conned him into painting a figure using my system. He did and it was awesome! Seriously, I loved it and told him he should always paint figures like that! He looked at me, smiled and dropped it into his trash can! We had a laugh and continued our own way of painting. True story!
His system created so many new figure painters because it was something that most people could follow! Those were some great times!
BTW, Ron, I have had an astigmatism in both eyes since birth!
Hang in there!
