Carrying On with Stuff
Having put the first washes on Nanny last night. I was able to start work on the detailing. I have just started the third of the Witches Novels - Witches Abroad. Both witches clearly are wearing red and white bloomers in Josh Kirby's cover painting. And whilst I can't see Granny approving of such frivolity, I think the red and white bloomers will suit Nanny to a tee. Although I have had to paint them vertically so they can be seen.

Josh Kirby's excellent cover for Witches abroad.

In the absence of a white spray can, I decided to try drybrushing with white done only from top to bottom. It looks ok.

| White has improved this one as well |

Nanny is very nice in her red and white striped stockings: a splash of color that goes well with the green dress (still an innovation of yours, isn't it?).
ReplyDeleteAs for the zenithal drybrushing with gray and white, not having an airbrush we tried it too with the Napoleonic soldiers that we are very slowly painting, and we are satisfied: a significant help for lights and shadows when you then apply the color well diluted. The first time we too had a bit exaggerated, but it also depends a lot on how much "crisp" the miniature is and on the posture of its body.
Thanks for the comments and ideas on zenithal painting. Have you posted them on your blog?
