The first two pictures of my Tordenskiold copy

[bracke]

Ok here is the first two work sessions with the painting.

At the first one I had finished the grounding of the background and done a fast scetch of the motive using white. The background is terra di siena mixed with ivory black. Thus the white got quickly into a blurry lighter version of the brown in the background.

Cool! How big is the painting?

Ca 36 x 45 or so

Nice! I like how the armour is turning out! And his hair.

Hm, I should get myself a wig....

You would look silly in a whig.

I'm happy that you like the armour.
