Shades of Dappled Rose Grey

I thought it might be fun to document the production on a Morgen Kilbourn "Kipling" resin who is being painted a rose dappled grey. The steps shown below are just the initial stages. A piece will go through many shades of color using a glazing technique. Once the color has been achieved dapples are added. Here is what has transpired so far. More to come!


Light coverage of color throughout.


Darkening the hind quarters first.


Extending the darker rose grey color throughout the body.


White oil paints applied to all lighter shaded areas.


Oil washes added to existing rose grey areas and blended.

I'm really liking how this Kipling is turning out. Can't wait to see him finished!
