I have painted a few of the Ladies of the West now... but finally one of them is ready for my Lawmen of Wappelville!
Continuing the theme of painting figures that require similar colors, the palette of this figure matched those of 3 other genres that I was working on at the time. For instance, if I am working on a skin tone, I will try to find as many figures as possible that require something similar and do that all at once.
I even used some of these same colors on a treeman and a troll... even on a giant birdman and WW2 figures. The list goes on, and so does the progress. As I have said before, it is a fantastic way to keep the line moving and get things done more rapidly.
Lately, however, I have noticed the "side" benefit more and more, which is keeping the energy level higher. Instead of getting bored painting the same thing over and over (especially if the figures are not favorites!!) I can switch to something else that I do enjoy, and take the sting out of painting things that really don't interest me.
