How to paint a dapple grey, part 1 

You are SOOO talented!!!

cool!!! that's awesome that you put the process up of such an amazing piece of artwork! I only wish I had that much money! haha

Excellent.

THANKS:D:D:D:D:D:D:D i will hopefully try this ur really good at customizing

Use a makeup or smooth sponge to get rid of brush strokes. Great for stablemates, too.

Cool

I don't use white primer because it usually dries a little tacky. I use grey and rust - they seem to dry about the same. It doesn't matter what color you use since it should not be visible through the finished paint coat. :-)

Yup! Just use smaller brushes, but the exact same techniques will work on any scale.

This is amazing! Gives me the itch to paint. What are blending and glazing mediums? I've never used them, course I've always used acrylics only.

oh,and when you brush the paint on, do brush strokes show up on the model???

Yup! :-)

cool! so u were useing oil paints?? is that right

How do u keep it from having brush strokes and what kind of paint do u use ?

i usually customize stablemates would the samething work for them??:D:D:D:D:D:D

Hi I have some questions! 1. do you need to put the white oil paint all over the model if you've primed it with a white primer? 2. Do you wait for all the layers to dry (ie. the white before starting the dark gray/black), and spray with a sealer between each? please answer! thanks!!

What's colbalt drier and is there any alternative?

Yes. :-)

@cinnamonmewmew OHH I see. That mes sense. But I use acryllics so I guess there aren't really any prints on my horses.

did you use acryllic?if not, what did you use???

@pittielove holy crap!!!!

nice, i cant get use to oils :/ but your a profesianal lol so of course your good at it

In this video do you use Pastels or paints??

@cinnamonose Lots, Ever heard of a rescue center?

I'm not sure what you mean by a vid on just painting a horse that would be different from this? This vid is the first in a planned series on painting a dapple grey from start to finish. :-)

@BoomerMyBaby Cause i wanted to see how they were painted?

Oh, I gotcha. Yes, I can do a solid color at some point. :-)

Yes, unless you're lucky enough to have a dealer nearby. I order mine at avesstudio(dot)com. It is the Apoxie Sculpt, and I always get natural since the colored and white epoxies don't work as well.

Did you sculpt that horse?

@pittielove KOOL

@KitKatKowgirl339 rawrrrr

Woe

@JackAndArora Then why are you watching?

is this the horse thats on ebay now for $1600+??!!

@JackAndArora no its not. if you take them to model horse shows you can win MAJOR MONEY.

oils?? I love them the best, ty for the start. Is there a reason for really scrubbing them into the model?

Yes, this was oils. :-)

how come you wear gloves when painting?? i go bear fingers all the way!!

there are standardbreds that amount of money for sale and some untrained horses ;) atleast have seen some :D

oil paints :)

to keep finger print off the horse :p

@NuggetLuver4Ever im sorry but paying $13,000 for a PLASTIC horse and fake leather is totally UNREASONABLE you could buy a real horse and REAL TACK with that kind of money. i think its stupid to pay 56$ for a plastic horse and one has sold for 13,000$? thats worth more then my pony! Im sorry thats just stupid. thats my opinion, if you don't like it then i'm sorry but its not going to change, but paying 13,000$ for a PLASTIC horse is ridiculous!

U WANT 1600$ + FOR A STUPID PLASTIC HORSE!!!! COULD BUY A REAL ONE FOR THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY!!!
