Here's a good painting exercise. It's the errant knight by Elgreco sculpted by Matt. It's half fantasy half historical. I tried to go for the latter as much as I could

Thanks Steve,
Interesting shade you got with Brownish Red, will give it a try. I have been using Red Orange for some weathered red but was not quite happy as still the pigment gave a high contrast hue, the dull effect of weathered red could not be acheived, but here I see it ... so I guess that colour helps!

Very Nice Steve....
It's good to see a different approach to this chap!
Is it me or doe he bear a slight resemblance to the painter?

Rob, thanks. I don't know about the resemblance but it must be there cause you're not the first one to mention it
