Title: Horse head: Quaterdance
Post by: draken35 on October 19, 2014, 06:37:24 PM

A new horse head in progress.

This one will represent Quaterdance, a 4 years old stallion with which miss Amandine Prevost won the dressing Belgian championship. When finished, the head will be given to Amandine.

Firts stage: miliput

Yes, indeed!

Today I've realised the mane, using Magic Sculpt. I had to realise 8 "knots"; I enclose some photos of the process and the final result.

I'm quite proud...

Magic Sculpt is really excellent; I must say I prefer to use it than miliput...

Shade is good and even little shine is visible

That's the advantage of oil paint versus acrylic paint: oil is more luminous and gives more life...

Even classic painter more prefer oils

Good progress today: painting of the nose (black + a littl ebit of white); the mane (bmlack + a little bit of blue), and darkening with Vandycke Brown.

Next step: the eyes...

Eyes are painted with acrylics: marron, black and a little drop of white to simulate the light; then Tamiya gloss varnish.

Quaterdance is finished and placed on base. I'm just waiting now for the plate with his name; that plate will be made by a friend of mine...
