35 years laer, back to painting (1 Viewer)

[Mirof]

After 35 years, now that I have time, I try my hand a painting again
Believe me ; eyes and hands are older
I try first cheap models like here Mokarex 60mm plastic




And a Lasset from Greenwood & Ball 54mm lead



And an old Stadden 54mm lead early 70ies ( trace of pliers, porous lead )

Welcome back to the bench, Mirof! Those are some nice pieces; I like your shading and your results on the faces. Well done!

Prost!

Hi Mirof,

I saw that figure on the Delcampe auction site. I think that the costume on the figure is based on this Martine Carol costume.
