Michael Bedard
Cottage Grove, Minnesota
Michael borrowed from another of his hobbies, painting portraits, when he finished Nuts Planet’s 1/20 scale Hinata. He primed the figure using a grisaille, a series of grays that help create shading. Over that, he painted the colors to mimic lighting from the torch and moonlight from above and behind the warrior. The base coats are Vallejo acrylics and the upper layers are artist oils from Winsor & Newton and Williamsburg.
