Painting the Armour and Colour Fades: The Legs

August 2010·p. 98

THE SHORT VERSION

Successive thin glazes turn the pale lower legs blue, purple and finally black towards the feet, always leaving part of the earlier colour visible. Kornel stresses staining with translucent layers rather than covering each stage completely. The final dark recesses and pale raised details preserve the sculpt’s definition across the gradual change in hue.
