Horse head: Quaterdance
« 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...

Thank You!

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

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