Nearly everything you ever wanted to know about painting white markings for model horses, from facial markings, to pintos, to how to keep your layers smooth & detailed.
I’ll show you the techniques I’ve found the most helpful over the years for painting photorealistic, show quality model horses. These are the tips I wish someone would have taught me when I started painting model horses.
For both acrylic & oil painters working in all scales of model horse, this tutorial also covers tips for realism and is for both beginners to the semi-advanced painter.
The techniques are demonstrated on Breyer model horses, and will also work on Schleich, Peter Stone, artist resin & others!
✨IN THIS VIDEO I SHARE:
○ How to paint markings in acrylics vs oil paint
○ Selecting the right brushes
○ Paint mixtures, consistency & how many layers to expect
○ How to avoid bubbles & paint lifting
○ Selecting opaque paints
○ Helpful painting mediums, gesso & colored primers
○ Painting fine hair details
○ Tips for pinto mapping & appaloosa halos
○ And so much more!

This was VERY helpful! Thank you so much for doing this video. On a few of the models Ive been working on, the paint will lift up after I seal the paint markings. Now I know why they are doing that 😃 Thank you so much again❤

Just the tutorial that I needed! Thank you, your tutorials are the best. I personally used to always water the paint too much, so that was an eye opener to me xD Also you saved me so much time, because I wanted to make a similiar Pinto and I never thought about just to put tape on it. May I suggest/ ask making a tutorial on dapples? I'm working on a custom of my friends horse and I'm just so frustrated

@@CreativeKristenTaylor Of course and thanks! I would be so very thankful! I‘ve tried so many techniques, but they always end up looking... weird. Like completely out of place.

What is a good product to gloss a model?

@CreativeKristenTaylor Жыл бұрын

I’ve used Liquitex High Gloss Varnish for glossing just the eyes and liked the results. If you mean glossing the entire model, I have not done that myself yet so I’m not sure if that particular product would be best, though you could certainly try it on a test piece yourself!

What about when doing a mottled privates on a mare, how do you do that?

There’s a few different ways you could paint mottling, and I showed one of those methods in this appaloosa tutorial kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zt2pbLJ1xNrDnqc.html
