Step 1.

Step 2.
I painted piece with base color – 2:1 mix of Astronomican Grey and Tallarn Flesh (no. 1)



Step 3.
From this step is needed old brush(see photo) to get final effect. I was painting form up to down(it’s important) in this and next steps. I used paints in order:(Remember to water down paint):
Brown ink : thraka green 2:1(no. 2), brown ink : thraka green 1:1(no. 3), thraka green(no. 4), thraka green not watered down(no. 5), baal red(no. 6), baal red not watered down(no. 7), ogryn flesh(no. 8), gryphonne sepia(no. 9), brown ink heavily watered down(no. 10).
