You mean there are cushions and bed ornaments in the picture. :)

Well done! Reminds me of old world style painting only on a much smaller scale.
Cheers,

Very nice painted figure. I agree with Eric that Hafer has many nice biblical figures.

I might have missed the whole point of this piece..... ;D

really superior work Eric, the fine detail is amazing, do you use any devices to magnify the subject while in process?

Another set from Wolfgang Hafer, design Madlener, engraving Lecke
As you can see I came back to metallic paint which I find much more brilliant; but of course it is just a question of taste
By the way if anybody have an idea where I could fine silver or gold powder like Rose or Humbroll made years ago ...

Nicely done Eric, your metallics do look very shiny, perhaps you will set a new trend and make it fashionable again. I am trying it myself as an experiment but I don't have the Rose powders for highlighting. I have been searching the net, nothing found so far.

Hi Eric. I'm not a great fan of metallic paints. It always reminds me of toy soldiers ( I know thats what flats really are) but Im sure some good results can be had with the right toning down and shading. As Charles says you could start a trend.
I think I may have some Rose gold and bronze powder somewhere in the attic. (Packed away in the early 1980's) I also have some gold and silver printers ink that works quite well. (so I'm told).
I will have a look on my return to England.
