Hi folks ,
Welcome to my guide on how to paint faces using oil paints . Throughout this guide we'll look at everything from the tools,paints ,preperation ,priming,painting and details .Although this is based on painting faces the techniques used are also used for painting the rest of a figure,which we can also look at later on if there is interest .
For this guide I will be painting a 1/10th scale bust as its a good size to photograph and big enough to show all the work involved .Its a nice piece from Nocturna called 'The Scottish Freeman' and is quite clearly based on Mel Gibsons role in Braveheart (William Wallace ). Its quite a simple bust with few parts so it should be easy to follow .
Although this is 1/10th scale ,the same techniques are used for all scales ,with the exception being the eyes ,because at smaller scales the eye's will be more simplified , again ,we can look at that along the way should anyone wish to do so .
So ....Thats the heads up fella's ,I'll be back later with the first installment ,which will include a look at brushes , preperation & priming.
Thanks for looking ,and please feel free to ask ,or comment at any stage.And ,if you have a better way of doing things ...please... let me know
