Had half an hour today (yeah) and started to paint with my old oils from the past. The starting palette contains some titanium white, goldochre, yellow ochre, burnt siena, burnt umber, cadmium mid-red and cadmium light-yellow.
I had two figures for my Pz I (Spanish Civil War era) from Warriors and I started to paint them with the base skin color. I used dry soft brushes to "thin back" the first layer to avoid too thick oil paint at the end of the painting process. My first conclusion: the grey Tamiya primer is very good but not for figures as the thin base coat "greyed down". I'll use flesh-tone acrylics next time as a primer (as is said in the "Big Book of Figure Painters").

És végül a folyamat, bár még csillog a figura a friss olajfestéktől, de egészen szimpatikus lett a végeredmény (nem, nem Szaddám az, még ha hasonlít is egy kicsit), az első olyan figurám, amit olajjal festettem, és nem fogok lemosni (egyelőre legalábbis) lefolyótisztítóban. Amit feleségem csak "úsznak a jürgenek" megjegyzéssel szokott titulálni.
And finally the painting process with adding little shadow here, little light there and blending the colors with a soft brust. First figure of my life that will avoid to be washed down several times. And he is definitely not Saddam even if he looks like...
