Sorry Jack, didn't see your message, thank you.

I have to check my imagination once in a while...there are certain things not achievable and can be outrages at times. Most of the time it's luck and perseverance...skill comes in way down the list. I see the stuff at Monson and I'm gobsmacked.

Perseverance maybe, but there is no luck here my friend! Excellent work.

Hi guys,
Spent half a day painting the Bedouin. I had to visualise the sun glow hitting his back and creating a bright haze at the edges before the shadows. So far okay but I will need to bring out the airbrush for the shadowed area on his front skirt to get a smoother flow. In my naked eye it looks okay but the photos show some rough detaing that need to be fixed like darkening under his right arm sleeve.

Need to brighten his right leg 'cos that where it's gonna hurt him and the whole point of the vignette besides the donkey warning his master.

Cheers,
Wabble

Great work mate

Love it mr Wabble, cheers

Just caught up. Shadow idea is outstanding, well done mate 👍. Painting the figures to suit will be an interesting challenge though. Your light source will have to come across almost horizontally from behind, so the side nearest the viewer will be almost completely in shadow…..

Thanks Tim, the shadow actually helps me identify the direction of the sunlight so it hits the back of his left shoulder as he turns and slightly at a higher angle.
For the shadowed area I will play on the eye having adjusted to compensate so it's not completely in the dark. What I haven't done is the very dark thin line that separates the border of light to dark.
Challenging? Yes it is.

Can’t wait for that. Sure it will be great 👍. Mind you, a bright halo effect around the edge would be spectacular if you really fancy a challenge 😉😉
