ReplyDeleteI love the color that you give to your horses, your base coat is white or black?
Thanks Vincent.
DeleteBlack. I nearly always base with black...very rarely with grey. It seems to suit my style..i like muted colours :-I

Very nice, Ranulph de Blundeville is my favourite...
ReplyDeletePhil.
The poses on those horses are so dynamic. Really like the shading and highlighting you achieved with them. The bright blues against it was a great choice.
ReplyDeleteI keep on telling to everyone that you are the Middle Ages expert!
ReplyDeleteExcellent painting Paul.
Thanks :-D
DeleteI´m no expert :-D I keep getting sidetracked by different bits of the period...like the "Anarchy" 1135 to 1153, King Stephen and the empress Matilda.
