The nightwatch

a journey between light and shadow.
Started in 2021, somewhere thinking on creating something special.
For me a challenge trying to upgrade some skills, probably at the end some frustration richer.

That is a real challenge you have set yourself there Jan- but you are surely mastering it by the look of the progress you have made.

Beautiful!!

This reminds me of something I saw on a Dutch forum site, someone painted a figure with lighteffects, if you want, I can send you the link.

Yes, always looking forward to see other painters there work.

Great work, something small turning out a beautiful peace with a great atmosphere.

Wow, what a great paint job. Young Miniatures are some of the best around, but you sure bring out the best detail with your painting.

I always imagined this guy to be a Paul Revere, or similar! :thinking:

Interesting tones you have gone for there Jan. I quite like the subtle effects of the lamp and the overall impression I get from the figure is of it being moonlit night where the lamp’s glow is not so noticeable in the light of a bright moon.

Very nice repaint and for me I prefer the 2nd version. The tones are just a little bit more subtle which gives it some nice shading all over.

Great tones on the lighting, not an easy task.
