There's an interesting new article on PlanetFigure that deals with installing the groundwork for a vignette or small dio. Two of three chapters posted already. Worth a quick look ! Beautifully done, step-by-step.
Lovely new website by Gordy, by the way. A must for figure painters.

I give it a General Failure rate of 4/5 .

ahhhh jan thats a very nice site thanks Im gonna try that for groundwork...


's are on me

Very useful site Jan. Although its similar to the metod I use, its great to read about different colour combinations. Interesting that he used flesh as a ground colour! Hopefully if people find sites or articles like these they will post them!

Thanks, I was thinking a doing a little dio with some figs in the near future!

Thanks again!

Great article, however I personally prefer to use real dirt. Got 3 or 4 shades injars, and if I ever remembe there is a guy that sells dirt on my way to work. I wonder what he would charge for a jar of his white sand and super dark topsoil?
