Some very nice pictures for a first contribution here - so welcome to the forum!

Your painting style is really good with lots of fine detail. In particular those faces are superb!

Hi! Welcome to the forum
Your paintjob is excellent, but if you allow me, the background in your pictures doesn't show off your figures. I suggest that you use a sheet of paper (colored, textured, or plain white as you prefer) in order to get a better result, so that the eye focuses on the figure.

Here is an example with a dark grey sheet:


And this is the result:


Pictures taken with my phone (which doesn't make nice pictures) in artificial light.

Welcome and what beautiful work to exhibit.

Fantastic painting and the faces are alive.

My friend Mr Cryns suggested a black background to enhance the beauty of exhibit figure pictures.

He works in film and it works for me.

Best wishes,

Chris

Hello and welcome here at Bennos! You are a very skilled painter. As the others have said already: The figures look brilliant. Allow me to offer a tip for snowy bases: There is a product from AK which is really good to create snow. But also others offer good stuff, that is easy to handle an the effect is very realistic.
