Nicolas Uribe painting of Mifune as Lone wolf and Cub sanjuro yojumbo

The thinner paints not only allow us to see the drawing underneath, but also show the brush strokes and their direction and flow even as Mifune has that anger bottled up in reds.

Great observation. Yeah the bottled up anger is the perfect feeling for this piece. Mifune often looked like he was about to explode!

Oh wow. Was his plan to paint over opaquely but once he saw how incredible the underdrawing looked with the washes, he left it? If so, I approve! 

Yeah it turned out great, I sent you a message.

great piece. that combination of mediums and tones really bring about the strong image. unique work by Uribe
