T...Those are some high words of praise! Thank you!<br /><br />The green shoulder pads were initially painted dark brown, followed by stippling on a range of different Vallejo military greens (like Russian green and tank ochre). The stippling does a great job of creating interesting patterns mimicking texture. With the greens in place, I added other browns and reds with oils. To do this I used the oilbrushers offered from Ammo by Migs Jimenez. These are a great way to begin experimenting with oil paints. Hopefully this short description helps!

I check back and look at it every few weeks for inspiration. The green of the shoulder pads looks so layered and deep. The more I zoom in the more subtle hints of colors I see.

I feel it is a good entry point for using oil paint. Since everything is contained within the oilbrusher, they are a lot less messy than traditional oil paints.
