Farewell Ye Olde Vikings!
Finishing The Base
Hi everyone,
The base is finally done. I painted the sea in oils. This gives me ample time to blend and get it as good as I can. I always use opaque colours when blending because it is easier.
To add sheen to the ocean, I gave it several coats of Mod Podge with a brush.
I also added a backdrop. This is sort of my signature, so I went ahead and did it. After I painted the surrounding in black.
When everything had dried, I added some white-water effects by mixing artificial snow with gel medium. Then I placed the mixture on the top of the wave crests and under the ship.
The sea base has been painted up with oils, giving me all the time I need to get it right.
I added artificial snow mixed with gel medium for the white water crests. 
Next up will be the protagonists of the show – the Vikings themselves. I will start painting up the first five, because they need no converting or modifying. The following five need minor adjustments. SO I will leave them for after.
That is all for now. Until next time stay safe and have fun.
NR.
Stunning work so far. The backdrop is a lovely touch, where do you get the image from?
@gorram thanks for the great comment. The picture was sourced from a simple Google search. I just tag for large images to guarantee high resolution.
