MOST OF THE REST CRAVAT As with the face his cravat is a little hard to reach, tucked away behind that very large gun!  1. AP-WP1112 - Angel Green 2.

TROUSERS & WAISTCOAT Not so straightforward. 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 Brown  3.

Nice and defined, so no trouble here. I left a lot of the shade showing as I wanted his beard to be nice and dark. The 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 mistakes by painting over the slips with black. 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.
