Blackbeard,250mm semiflat bust.

This is my last painting job that I have done after moving house and on vacations....too much stress in the last few months and now finally some fun and brushes.
As always I have used a thin acrylic base coat and then oil paint.





I never forget this forum...it is part of my understanding of this hobby, painting and friends.
Santi.

Fantastic work, Santi.
It's amazing how well you paint faces with all those little colour variations to make it realistic.
I wouldn't know how or where to start...
thanks for sharing.

It's years of practice, trial and error.
And a lot of passion for painting.
I'm glad you like it.

Wow, tocayo, that pirate looks really scary and the quality of the painting is spectacular. Also, the frame and the map in the background add a fantastic touch. A real artwork.

A very convincing and fearsome pirate, great artwork!

I'm pleased to hear that being able to paint after your busy and stressful few months has provided relaxation and fun.

Beautiful job Santi. A lot of expression in those eyes and subtle use of color throughout the skin tones. Excellent work and I hope you are happy in your new abode.

As usual your figures look very alive! But in this case it looks like the've just chopped off his head! .... wait a minute! Blackbeard was hanged? Wasn't he? Anyhow, excellent painting and it's a joy to have you here and on that other place!
