Kirill Kanaev and his amazing painting skills ...
Painting on instruction No.3

A Painting Buddah Legends video is a tutorial of very well known artists like Kirill Kanaev. Kirill won this year the crystal brush contest with his amazing looking home-made Space Marine. The second place has made Ben Komets who was mentioned a lot of times on this blog because he is one part of the Painting Buddah Academy. His scenery was stunning too ... unbelievable!
Back to the instruction video of Kirill. He painted the Highland Clansman from Young Miniatures. On all different materials he added special textures to simulate their specifics. For example he painted the beret of the Clansman with a lot of little dots to give it the look of felt. While I saw the video the first time I didn´t know Kirill before. Sometimes I thougt: What the .. is he doing. That looks strange, not really good. And then with every additional step the miniature got awesome ... Nothing I´m able of today :) One version of Kirill´s painted Clansmans you can see on the cover of the clansman box from Young Miniatures. He painted that too.

Here you can see my version of the Highland Clansman. Hope you enjoy!
