Prussian Hussar - Dolman

The Hussar's dolman, a coat which will be draped from his shoulder, has been given its first few thin layers of colour.

The lace and fur edging is white and the button are silver. The dolman is a specific shade of blue which will need the peaks and valleys of the folds to be correctly highlighted in different tones to emphasise them.

The Hussar's left hand can be seen. This too has just been given an even coat of 'flesh' colour. Dirt and shadows will be added to make it more life like.

I have put this to one side as I now concentrate on painting the main part of the Hussar.
