That's a very interesting diorama. Where would you say is the focal point Armand?
What draws your attention when you look at the diorama as a whole? |

@AONeill Thank you it may be just the photography. I couldn't put my finger on it but that is one thing. John |

The problems:
No tonal variation.
Lots of detailed fiddly bits in the groundwork which have just as much call on the viewers eye as the main subjects.
The brightest colour is the green grass.
So the viewer will tend to look at the grass first, notice there's a shed load of things in the groundwork.
Then the dinosaurs. It's particularly interesting because there's a high level of craftsmanship. The problem is the artistry. Pretty dinosaurs once you find them though. |

I have to agree with AONeill. I liked it but could not put my finger on what I disliked. The dinosaurs are hidden in a riot of colors and textures. That aside, it's beautiful work, way beyond my skills. Xin |

Say you wanted to paint dinosaurs or textured skin like trolls or whatever in a similar style. Prime white.
Stain over with the colours.
Big size 4 soft brush like a squirrel for the main areas and a smaller size 1 for the edges.
Overbrush a very light pastel version for the highlights. If you wanted to deepen the lo lights.
Stain over with a darker version of your mid.
Overbrush white.
Stain over again.
Overbrush highlights. With staining large areas the basic mix is paint and water. You want to add a tiny amount of detergent ( washing up liquid ) to your water pot you're taking the water from in order to reduce surface tension.
Add ink to make the colours brighter.
Add a little acrylic medium or varnish to make the mix easier to control. The highlights look to me like they're pretty much all white or off white. If you kept the rider separate to paint you could probably do the final highlights on that t rex all in one go. BIG soft brush to overbrush or even up to a a half inch flat synthetic to dry brush. |
