DonB Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 So for a change I decided I'd put my work up as I go. I have 2 weeks before I leave Korea, and I want to finish my girls before I go. These are being painted primarily for my step daughter, who has been interested in my painting recently though less than ethusiastic when it comes to the subject of the models. She wanted something pretty, so I ordered the girls. First up Collette herself. The hair colour was my daughter's suggestion. I quite like it and I would not have chosen purple if she didn't suggest it. The girls and the assistant - (name escapes me momentarily) Gotta do some final touchups, around the face especially, and their bases are incomplete. NExt up will be the dolls, I'm thinking I will make them primarily blue, rather than pink. I'll see how it looks today. Thanks for looking!

Saint Norton Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Very nice, I'm a big fan of using a unifying color scheme like that to tie your band togeather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuesday Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Nice! I like the color scheme. Those pinks go well together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osoi Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Nice work, I think the primarily blue mannequins and coryphee should go well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightseer Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Nice...I generally don't like pink, but it looks great on these girls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonB Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I think the dolls came out TOO blue. I'll post them up later to show. Another problem is painting the coryphee duet. I chose to magnetise them and as such when it comes to painting, I will have nothing to hold onto! Oops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightseer Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Well, put them on a thick piece of metal while you're painting them You could even drill a hole that's slightly larger than the magnet size, that way they won't be able to move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonB Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Thing is the one that is standing on one foot barely balances. I think I should just bite the bullet and buy another set and glue these ones! Decided I'd redo the blue on my marionettes, made it a lighter shade on two and left the darker shade on one. Much prefer it now. But have to go back and redo the pink ribbons now... Picks tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I managed to pin both my Coryphee and Mannequins so it is possible, but it takes a little precision, lol. Great paint jobs on those girls though, my Colette is tipping her hat to yours in a salute of a job well done. Very nice unified look to them.
