Carnevale - female civilian
Color scheme
Primer
- first prime the mini black or white, depending on the color scheme you use
Color blocking
- Then paint the dress, I choose rakarth flesh (citadel paints) as a base color because I do not want here to look rich but a middle class civilian.
- I choose red for the head, shoes and belt with the ribbon around the waist -> mephiston red (citadel paints)
- The border around the dress will be white so I start white celestra grey (citadel paints) as a base color.
- Then the overhang on the dress, this I based with screamer pink (citadel paints)
- I did the feathers on the head in three colors so it looks like a more foreign hat
> Daemoic yellow (army painter)
> Green skin (army painter)
> Ultramarine blue (army painter)
- To start with the axe I do the handle in rhinox hide (citadel paints)
- Then the blade\cheek part in plate mail silver (army painter)
- The skin I did in barbarian flesh (army painter) to give her a warm color
- Finnish off the color blocking I did the hair in oak brown (army painter)
Shade
- The first shade is soft tone (army painter) for the dress
- For the red and pink colors on the shoes, overdress, belt and hat I use red tone (army painter)
- Then the shade on the feathers:
- Soft tone (army painter) yellow feathers
- Blue tone (army painter) blue feathers
- Green tone (army painter) green feathers
- On the whole axe and hair nuln oil (citadel paint)
- Then a flesh wash (army painter) on the skin.
Highlights
- I start then with the highlights, the dress I highlight in usabati bone and build up to a mix between ustabti bone/lahmian medium 1:1 (both citadel)
- Then a big highlight of pink horror (citadel paints) on the overdress
- I clean up the red with the base color mephiston red (citadel paints)
- Then I do the skin first the flat areas with barbarian flesh. (Army painter)
- Second I highlight mix barbarian flesh/elven flesh 1:1 (army painter)
- To finish off the skin the sharp parts like the bridge of the nose around the eyes, ect.. With elven flesh (army painter)
Great work, @frederique555 – I like the decoration along the base!
It’s always good to have painting guides and especially civillians like this.
