Welcome! Come along with me as I paint a model horse in acrylics, step-by-step, using only a soft paintbrush. I’ll show you how I keep my layers smooth, keep my color transitions soft, and create creamy blends and an oil paint-like glow. The techniques shown will work on original sculptures as well as resin, pewter, and plastic models like Breyer, Schleich, Peter Stone, CollectA, artist resins, etc.
✨ In this video I share:
○ How wet palettes help with blending
○ Two types of helpful acrylic painting mediums
○ Methods for reducing streaking
○ Correcting color with glaze layers
○ A technique for pinto mapping
○ And more!
⚠️🏆 Remember, thin layers, light paint loads, and very soft brushes are the keys to success with acrylics on models, along with a little patience and practice. You've got this!!!
I publish videos once a month sharing my adventures in creating horse and animal art in my free time for my own enjoyment, like sculpture, painting, printmaking and more. If you enjoy watching the adventures of an artist making things by hand, and sometimes learning something new, I’d love to show you what I make next!
