My first two Carnevale miniatures are done!  I am starting off with a Patricians crew as for me they are definitively Venetian I  appearance and their backstory of street-roaming murder parties is simple but so characterful.

I decided to kick off with a pair of Barnabotti, who are minor nobles whose family fortunes have fallen on hard times.  They pour their remaining wealth into maintaining appearances so I decided to go all out on making them a gang of outrageously flamboyant murder peacocks and try my hand at bold yellows.

Then I thought, why not make them a couple out on the town with a his & hers costume theme?

The base coat was Golden yellow, shaded with a mix of the orange.  Highlighting was done with the moon yellow going up to ice yellow at the brightest points.The base coat was Golden yellow, shaded with a mix of the orange.

The cloth of gold was Glorious Gold base coat, a nuln oil wash then highlighted with Polished Gold. The red fabric is Scarlett Red shaded with dark purple.  For highlighting I mixed a little Ivory with the Scarlett. The cloth of gold was Glorious Gold base coat, a nuln oil wash then highlighted with Polished Gold.

I already had an interest in getting this – purely for the minis – and a trip to Venice last year (pre-lockdown) only cemented that interest. But your minis are brilliantly well painted – love it!
