Ciao a tutti, Has been a while, but I've been busy with work and life. I have finished this  piece, I painted the figure and my friend Vittorio Arena built and painted the Sherman wedge. We have tried to reproduce the same atmosphere of the original picture, and I hope you think we did it. I did use, as usual, acrylics for fabrics, oils for skin...

Ciao a tutti, This is one of the last figures I've painted. Is a limited edition figure produced by the forum www.figurinitaly.com sculpted by Mariano Numitone. The figure is casted in resin, and is almost perfect, with very tiny imperfection to spot and fill/sand.

The jacket has been made using a stippling technique, using various shades to depict the "english uniform" going from sunny skintone to black. Has been a nice experience and I think I will try it on other busts as well. Calvin...

Ciao a tutti, Has been long time since I've updated my blog. Many things are happening, the biggest one will be revealed soon. For the time being I'm painting this splendid bust from JMD, should be a fairly quick painting for my standard. The sculpture is amazing, particularly the face. Flesh tones are done, beard as well, maybe some touch up will be done. Let me...

Ciao a tutti, After a looong period I've finally managed to finish this figure, one of my old passion a napoleonic figure. I've to thank many friends who helped me finding the right documentation to make the piece as historical accurate as possible. Let me know what you think. Ciao Giovanni ...
