Day 1444 of the #hobbystreak and it's back to painting some more foot knights for #TheBaronsWar. I wanted to try working on yellow colours, and it took 2 layers of Dark Sun Yellow to not look so streaky. #miniaturepainting #historicalpainting #wargames

Eugène Delacroix (French, 1798 - 1863) • Jeune orpheline au cimetière (Young Girl at the Cemetery) • c. 1823/ 1824 • Musée du Louvre • 👀ALT
#art #ArtHistory #19thCenturyEuropeanArt #EugèneDelacroix #painting #RomanticismSchool #GreatPaintingInHistory #HistoricalPainting #OilPainting #ArtMasterpiece
Believed to be a preparatory work in oil for the artist's later Massacre at Chios, Orphan Girl at the Cemetery is nevertheless considered a masterpiece in its own right. An air of sorrow and fearfulness emanates from the picture, and tears well from the eyes of the grief-stricken girl as she looks apprehensively upward. The dimness of the sky and the abandoned laying-ground are consonant with her expression of melancholy. The girl's body language and clothing evoke tragedy and vulnerability: the dress drooping down from her shoulder, a hand laid weakly on her thigh, the shadows above the nape of her neck, the darkness at her left side, and the cold and pale coloring of her attire. All these are combined to emphasize a sense of loss, of unreachable hope, her isolation, and the absence of any means of help. For Delacroix, colors were the most important ingredients for his paintings. Because of this artistic taste and belief, he did not have the patience to create facsimiles of classical statues. He revered Peter Paul Rubens and the Venetians. He chose the use of colorful hues and exotic themes for his paintings, drawing inspiration from other inspirational places, resulting in works described as glossy and abundant with movement.[

Day 1376 of the #hobbystreak and it's back to painting more drab basecoats colour on the Peasant Levy. I was looking for a light color for the cloth on some, so did a layer of Griffon Claw to build off on. #TheBaronsWar #miniaturepainting #historicalpainting #wargames

Everyone always talks about Millais' Ophelia but my favourite Ophelia painting is probably this one by Heyser. It's just so gentle (and minus giving Elizabeth Siddal pneumonia)

#Ophelia #HistoricalPainting
Heyser's Ophelia painting. A woman dressed in a white gown lies in a river, the water plants expertly painted around her. There is a flowering lily pad and two red flowers beside her, reminding us of the tragedy unfolding. The woman's face is reposed as if asleep, and her hair floats behind her. The background gives the impression of a risen bank, with plantlife spilling down towards the river water A close up shot of the painting. Here you can see more detail in [the woman] Ophelia's face. Her eyes appear slightly open in death and in her hand she clutches a fistful of delicate blooming flowers. There is a white flower in her hair and her lips are slightly parted.

Day 1384 of the #hobbystreak and the basecoat, as messy as it looks, is done. Now, I next step should be highlights and details, but I might also experiment with Strong Tone by, which I have never used before. #TheBaronsWar #miniaturepainting #historicalpainting #wargames
