Lesson 18

LIGHTS AND SHADOWS (5)-THE COAT

To finish with the lights and the shadows, we are now going to paint the back of the jacket. We are going to use the same method as we have used previously. For the lights we are going to mix the base colour (beige brown - matt yellow - matt red) with white and then apply the dry brush subtly in the protruding areas.

Repeat this again but please do not go over the top with this technique as the result will be that the figure looks fake and not real.

We will get the colour for the shadows by mixing the base colour with light brown (871) instead of black, because in this case black will darken the paint too much.

.

.

Dilute the mixture with water and with a paint brush, brush the natural gaps in the coat. When the coat is dry you will see the contrast with the dry brush. Now, using the same technique as we used for the uniform, go over with a dry brush to cover the paint that has possibly come out of the gaps.
