28mm Renaissance Project 2

A minor update....not much done today... I did some color "test" painting on some of the figures, a few pikemen and two artillery crew to give myself what to expect regarding to color decision making for the pikemen.

  1. Your color selection on your test cases are fantastic and your artwork reminds me of Rembrandt!

  7. I leave for vacation and you start a whole new scale and era! I love your test work. If I could remake my painting style, I'd like it to be more impressionistic. That's what you've achieved right out of the box! Were you an art student, back in the day?

  8. Hey! welcome back Monty.. how was your vacation?... :o) something different and change of pace for me working/painting on 28mm figures. Yes indeed I was a "former" art student, now a full time artist (painter)

    cheers,

    1. I knew it!

      I was telling my wife that with us becoming empty nesters, I'd like to take an art class or two to "crack the code" on my miniature painting.

      It was a very nice break away with hiking every day in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
