...Painter by night! Sort of...I don't repaint models often, but I needed something to help me calm down tonight. Unfortunately, dapple grey was probably not the
best choice, but I can't handle bays or chestnuts in acrylic and can't be bothered with pastels at 8pm.
Here's how it went down...

| Alright! Base coated (ish) in acrylic, feeling pretty good! |
 |
| Dapples, attempt 498...ready to chuck her at a wall. |

You only see her right side because....that's all that's done! I'll keep picking at her, and probably put her back on the shelf for months after tonight.
I love that color and I think your dapples came out rather well. Just in the last pic, near her head, it looks a bit like some white paint spilled onto the grey of her neck and it's making her look a little funky to me. If you just softened that spot up, I think she would look a thousand times better. Otherwise, I think she looks great. I can't wait to see the other side once you finish it.

Ooooh, looking GOOD! I haven't yet mastered dapple greys and funnily enough would much rather handle a bay or chestnut! XD
ReplyDeleteI'm still working on my prepping, and making sure the pastels seal properly. I keep on getting little spots of unsealed pastels all over my horses.
ReplyDeleteI love how the dapple grey's coming - I'm not brave enough (yet) to try one.
Very nice! Love the dapples. Worth the pain and heartache :P
ReplyDeletewow!!! looking VERY good!!! i've been a bit daunted by the thought of doing a dapple grey, so have never tried one yet!!!
