The Winter Robe


Finally!!! I'll bet that although he might be standing out in the snow he's at least glad to get off my workbench! He has been hanging around down there for the past three months!

The Chief is just another example of why I enjoy doing Native Americans. Such a large opportunity to do a little research and a lot of painting not to mention coming up with the various designs.

This guy stands a little over 14" so he's pretty impressive. I did the snow as I have before, i.e., finish painting the figure completely, mask off the face, then use straight white and a toothbrush to splatter paint from above. I came back with a brush to dab on a little more white on the more exposed parts. I also dabbed on the white around the bottom of his moccasins so it looks like he has snow on his feet.
