Title: Horse head: Ragtime
Post by: draken35 on July 07, 2015, 03:56:11 PM

Well, time to begin a new horse head - Ragtime this time.

As previously said with other heads I've painted, this is a wonderful piece but that asks for lot of work. Many little holes due to air in the plaster (?) are filled with miliput...

The mane is done (with Magic Sculpt). A minor correction needed with the putty, on the base of the head...

First sanding of the grey putty (see the bottom of the figure) then yes, primer ;)

Maskol is used to protect the white surfaces...

Excellent shade for further paints :-clap

Yes, I think it's effectively a good shade before to use oil paints

I don't have images of the horse unfortunately, I've deleted all the photos - But I have photos of the figure I realised. So I'm working with those photos...

Yes; next phase will be the painting of the nose and the mane in black. But Ragtime will take life after the painting of the eyes.
"Those horse heads, when finished, are really alive", my friend said.

Nose and contour of eyes painted with a mix of Vandyke Brown and Black Lamp.

For the mane, black will be different: mixed with a (very) little bit of blue

The mane was oil painted today. Same mix than the one for Riboy: Black Lamp, a little bit of Vandyke Brown and a very very very little bit of blue...

The paint have to dry of course...

I have painted the eyes with acrylic paints: flat brown, black and a drop of white for the light. Then I've applied gloss varnish.

The head is placed on the base and the plate with the name glued.

Finished...  :-love

First two photos: artificial light.
Last two: flash
