Utterly stunning work. Very very jealous

Can't speak for Frank obviously, but looking at what I have in my paint supply and comparing that with the pictures of Frank's beautiful work I'm thinking Iraqi Sand, Tan Earth, Cork Brown, maybe Ivory or Offwhite and possibly Flat Earth for the camels.

Just stumbled across this thread and all I can say is Abso-bloody-lutely stunning!

As for 'what colours did you use' etc... I have a feeling that you could give Frank 'mud-on-a-stick' and he would pull off something amazing!

You never cease to amaze, Frank. Looking forward to the Tactica already!

He can make miracles with mud on a stick but I can't. I'd really like to know how he does it so I can try practicing his style. I'm in a bit of a painting rut and need to try imitating The Masters.

We can call this one "Still Life With Camels".

Ridiculously good.

The grey is really tricky.

Finally...here is the short tutorial I promised to you. The first picture is showing a camel with an averge colouring. Usually they have a darker upper part and a lighter belly. In the next picture you can see how I have used the basic colours „dark sand“ and „green ochre“ with some „chocolade brown“ for the upper part and dark shadows. The next step is to lay a wash of "Devlan Mud“ over the whole miniature. Last step and the costliest part is now to paint several layers of highlights.

Nice. I think it's the feathering of the highlights that really makes it work, bringing out the fur.

Lovely work on the camels Frank and naturally brillant overall. Thanks for the painting guide, will come in handy for Nappies Go Camel in the desert!

Cheers,

Helen.

That is a GREAT look. Mind if I snip this part out and put it in How to...?
