Base colour for the coat is neat GW Regal Blue but thinned down by 50% to flow into the creases (I also painted over the collars as well. Hair was GW Burnt Earth highlighted by a thin brush of GW Bestial Brown.
Next it's a 3:1 mix of Inscribe Golden yellow to water to go over the caramel parts. I try and avoid the creases here to give some definition.
Then GW Enchanted blue over the coat straight from the pot. At the same time I take a very watery GW Golden yellow and go over the highlights of the yellow (I find this gives a more even colour to the yellow).
Black next for hat, scabbard, shoes and garters. GW Chaos black thinned a little with Future floor polish to avoid any graining.
Burnt earth again for the staff. GW Skull White thinned with Future for the lace and buttons (two coats of milk for the white gives a more even colour and less graining).
GW Bestial Brown for the staff an gloves, again thinned 1:1 with Future. Then GW Bad Moon Yellow at 50% mixed with Future for the final yellow highlight.
GW Snakebite Leather for the belt and gloves. Follow this with GW Bubonic brown for the same . both neat from the pot. Finally a last highlight of GW Dessert Yellow washed over (1:2 with Future) for the last highlight.
Metals are last - GW Boltgun highlighted with Mithril silver for the staff & buckles, GW Burnished gold highlighted with GW Shining Gold for the swrd and scabbard.

HI Paul,
Neat description of your current painting process, and it's also interesting to watch things progress through this series of photos. Very nice work there.
Enjoy the weekend,
Stokes
Hi Paul,
Thanks for the informative tutorial. The text and the photos work together to give a thoroughly understandable account of your process. I especially liked the notes on the dilution rates. These make it much easier to "see" the photos. All in all, I'd rate it as one of the best painting articles to appear on any blog. Thanks for making the effort.
Ron
