This is a set obtained from Alexander Wilken sometime back. I finally started painting some of the pieces. The style of painting was deliberately kept fairly loose, in sincere imitation of the style of Douchkine, the famed painter of flats.
After undercoating, the flesh areas are given an undercoat of terra rosa, and when fairly dry, highlighted with old parchment and shadows were burnt umber. For this style of engraving, I don't paint the whites of the eyes.
