Re:Painting with Giovanni
Giovanni,
Thanks for this great SBS. I have Danilo's book but always had trouble getting the paint to mix as per the photo's. Thanks for your explanation it make it clearer.
Ken,
I always use a No 5 optivisor
when painting and it makes seeing the face a lot easier. If it looks good under the visor it will look good under normal looking.
Sorry Giovanni I do not mean to hijack your thread.
Cheers
John

Giovanni,
I think this is a great idea! As you go along, you will pick up more participants and help a lot of modelers improve their figures!
Great job, my Friend!

Re:Painting with Giovanni
Yeah, I don't think all the painting in the world will help my figure. Doc tells me to push away from the table and get to exercising but I tell him I'm hungry and it's too hot.
But I can't wait to try this technique. And this takes nothing away from what I learned from Laura's class, I think it only adds to it, another technique to get to the same place.

Dear James,
Thanks so much for your post and apologise for my late reply but I'm on holiday and has been difficult to find an internet connection.
Enough of my talking, your palette looks just fine, you have enough tones to paint.
The face however, I can't really tell, the picture is out of focus, unfortunately.
Can you take a close up picturw, maybe leaving e camera on a tripod?
I'll be following with much interest your work.
Ciao

@ John,
I've been lloking at your blackbeard and is great, really unique painting style, I really like it.
I wish I could came to Chicago this October, but I need to pass, workload is crazy in that period.
I really wish I could organise something next year, so we will be able to meet up in person.
Ciao
Giovanni
@ Bob Lettermann
Ciao Bob,
I'm happy you find this post interesting, and I really hope more people will partecipate and contribute to this thread so we can all learn something.
Looking forward to meet you in person sooner than leter.

@Moon puppy
Bob, I totally agree with you, what I'm showing here is just another way to paint, I feel comfortable with and that can be " replicated" easily.
I honestly think each one has to follow is own style and own taste, there is no right way of painting.
I would really love to see one of your figure here.
Ciao and thanks for your help.

Re:Painting with Giovanni
"G" the only figure I have ever done are the two Laura and I did. I have not tackled another since then. I'll surely post my next one here for yours and everyone's guidance and suggestions.
I'm loving this thread though!

Re:Painting with Giovanni
James,
Face is not bad at all, maybe we can add a bit of contrast.
If I may, I'll suggest to enhance the shadows on the lower eyelid, with a mid tone shadow from your palette.
Also, place a mid shadow/reddish hue tone starting from just under the cheekbone spreading down to 3/4 of the face( just above the jaw), leaving, of course the upper part darker.
I can't wait to see the progress.
Last thing, being on holiday, and then around for work, won't be able to post the how to of the rest of the figure until the 20 something of July, and James, the fabrics will be done in acrylics, not oils.

Re:Painting with Giovanni
Well I think the red is done. Tried some new stuff. Thinned the oil and tried a tiny brush, then dabbed in the pigment. Used cad orange to mix for highlitr and cad blue to mix for shadow. It looks okay to me. Hopefully its okay.
Oh and have a good vacation.

Re:Painting with Giovanni
Hello Giovanni,
I know it's a little late in the series but I'm very interested in learning this as I'm new to modeling armor and figures.
I just ordered some figures from Bravo*6, so as soon as I get them I'll be in here.
