Harlequin question

[Springbok]

I\'ve been asked to paint a GW Harlequin troup master, which is great, and I\'ve never painted this model which is ever better!
Problem is, I was asked to capture the essense of a Harlequin... Any ideas what that might be?

Yes Fluid Speed and Graceful Movement.
The newer Harlequin figures are a bit more open towards dynamic movement.
BUT the Loincloths and Coat tails on some of them don\'t move as real cloth would, instead they hang heavy and somewhat lifelessly.

I\'d suggest you look at the Galleries for Harlequins as Jeremie\'s Deamon winner captures a lot of what the Dancers are about.
