PAINTINGThe figure painting follows my well known method ofworking from dark to light shaded up from a blackundercoat. This three or more colour painting methoduses successive tones of colour (shade, middle andlight) which are added to the model in layers, working upfrom dark to light. This creates a bold three-dimensionaleffect of shadows and highlights, the layers of colourgiving greater depth and subtlety to the model. For thefacial detail and for the eyes I used an Insane Detailbrush. For the rest of the model I used a WarpaintsDetail brush.THE SAME COLOURSEven though the models are all highly individual, therewere colours that were the same on all the models,which I have listed below in this preamble. I did most ofthese colours first and all together, to try and speed upthe painting process a bit. EYES & FLESHThe flesh and eyes on all this Buntai are in the samecolours. I wanted the Koryu Buntai to have a noticeablydifferent skin tone from Europeans so planned mypainting accordingly, the skin tone is slightly exaggerated but I think it needs to be so that it is noticeable, on sucha tiny model on the tabletop. EYES 1.Whites are AP-WP1102 - Matt White2.The irises are pure AP-WP1124 - Oak Brown
