I doodled more on this set, combining some Wilken and Braune figures. Following a wash of burnt umber, flesh highlights were added. The translucent clothing had pure white highlights added. The figures are near finalisation and I hope to create a framed scene soon.
My aim in setting up this blog is in exploring flats (zinnfiguren) as an art form. Once thought of as playthings, flats have evolved into very artistic pieces, created for and treasured by collectors. I prefer to explore flats in a contextual setting by putting them into shadow-box dioramas of artistic merit which can be reasonably contained within a manageable space. The chronology of this web blog will hopefully blaze a definite trail in this direction.

Doodling some Egyptians
I gave most of my Egyptian figures a darker skin colour, except for Cleopatra who was of Ptolemic descent.
