PAINTINGThe figure painting follows my well known method of working from dark to light shaded up from a black undercoat. This three or more colour painting method uses successive tones of colour (shade, middle and light) which are added to the model in layers, working up from dark to light. This creates a bold three-dimensional effect of shadows and highlights, the layers of colour giving greater depth and subtlety to the model. For the facial 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, there were colours that were the same on all the models, which I have listed below in this preamble. I did most of these colours first and all together, to try and speed up the painting process a bit. EYES & FLESHThe flesh and eyes on all this Buntai are in the same colours. I wanted the Koryu Buntai to have a noticeably different skin tone from Europeans so planned my painting accordingly, the skin tone is slightly exaggerated but I think it needs to be so that it is noticeable, on such a tiny model on the tabletop. EYES 1.Whites are AP-WP1102 - Matt White2.The irises are pure AP-WP1124 - Oak Brown
