WHITEThe next step was the white, very much just collar and cuffs. I did these first as they are very small areas and would be more difficult to do at the end. Painting them in first allows you to correct any
HAIR & BEARDNice and defined, so no trouble here. I left a lot of the shade showing as I wanted his beard to be nice and dark.

In the illustration Curr’s trousers and waistcoat are definitely striped, tastefully in dark brown over light brown. Stripes like these are never easy, the best way is to paint the trousers in the solid under- colour shading up from dark to light as normal, then paint in the stripes, starting in the most visible places and working around the leg to the inside leg. Don’t worry if they don’t quite work all the way around as again, like the face, you can’t see all around the leg all at once. In this case the stripes are done in the shade colour of the trousers. Try to paint a stripe all in one brush stroke, in a confident single brush stroke, if you need to break do it at a change of direction or fold or crease. I corrected any mistakes (and there were a few) in my stripes with the highlight colour of the trousers.1.AP-WP1101 - Matt Black mixed with AP-WP1120 -Monster Brown (which was also the stripe colour, so save some!) 2.pure AP-WP1120 - Monster Brown3.AP-WP1120 - Monster Brown + AP-WP1102 - MattWhite4.then + AP-WP1102 - Matt WhiteJACKET More brown, but a different brown. His long tailcoat has smooth areas, paint them without folds or extra creases to give a nice smart well kept look.
