Thanks John, that was very warming
I must admit your passion for teaching and wanting ppl to improve around you is really showing through my work, yes your style is influencing the way I paint, but then your style like magic mate and you have a person have given me loads more passion which I never knew I really had before hand. Sure I already knew a lot of techs to painting but was applying them without really knowing how colour actually works or really how to balance the contrast of a model. Now I'm finding I'm putting all sorts of colours into my pallet but not because I'm following some dudes recipe but because I know what I want the final result to be.... for eg in the lizardmount gold chain around his neck I've used 'blue' in the sections under the neck mostly to cool down the colour temp and help with the contrast from the hot highlights.
Painting like that I would of never of been able to do without your aid, least not within the space of a couple of months, and its made my painting jobs feel so much more balanced than before. Sure I still need tons of practice, specially with getting the contrast right, but I believe that will just come with more practice. You don't need so much contrast on bigger canvas projects
thank you John got recognising and helping me bring out my real talents and passion in how/what I paint.
I'm going to post some of my freehand work later today, well more of a miniature painting but the you've some some of my previous canvas work and your right I should include that exp in the work I do and I'll show you and update of the lizard mount for the local some later
I feel 8.6 is pretty fair for the mage and I'm finding the tmm is working really well for me, weather its heavily weathered.
Thanks John, your the best, your biggest fan, Dave lol
