Back to the Brushes 302

In amongst everything else that is currently on the painting table, there is a little side project based on a tip seen on Benji's Hobbies There are several but for this side project it's the painting for 20 minutes a day that is being used. 

The following pictures are progressives on this unit of Germanic Tribes from Gripping Beast each session lasting not more than 20 minutes. 

20 Minutes

Base layer of the flesh tone in Foundry Flesh A

40 Minutes

Flesh mid tone and highlight added and the start of hair colourings. The flesh is Foundry Flesh B & C, the hair Foundry Ducky Flesh C

60 Minutes


More hair added with Black, Foundry Peat Brown C, Foundry Dark Leather B and Foundry Conker Brown C. All washed with Army painter strong and soft tones.  

80 Minutes

Start of the tunics with two painted in Foundry Ochre A and two in Foundry Madder Red A. The other four have now also been painted; two with Rakarth Flesh and two in Foundry Canvas A.

It's an interesting process and allows the progression to be followed easily as well as keeping the motivation for the project going well by doing a little often. 

Hope you found this interesting and stay safe. 

Cheers for now

Not heard of this before, very interesting to chart the progression.

Nice, I tend to do a similar approach when I am not keen to paint a unit
