Beautiful execution! The cuirass and the horse are both excellent. One of my favourite MM pieces. Your overall finish is very effective... Well done.
Cheers

Eduardo is delicious,the horse in acrilic!!!!!excellent,can you tell me the range color you use?

 

[Edorta]

Hi fabrizio, I´m glad you like it. I used dark brown as a base color, then I mixed the same dark brown with bermilion red and ochre for the next washes, and then only a mix of ochre and red , adding a bit of ochre and white for the highligths. It´s like a trip from shadows to highlights.
It´s very helpful take as reference the photo of a real horse.
I hope is helpful.

Love the painting and the very matt finish you’ve achieved. But (here I go again!)… the sclera of the horse’s eye is too pronounced. I think you’d normally only see the white of its eye at the back, if looking forward, or front, if looking back – not both at the same time and not much of either. I’ve read that

such a pronounced white only occurs in “leopard” patterned horses, such as the Appaloosa or Knabstrupper which are quite rare breeds​

, apparently. ​

Thank you very much for your tip, Jeff, I agree with you, sometimes I give to horse´s eyes an excesive "human" look. Truly, there´s no much white, in a horse eye.
I have take a look to some pics and that is a fact.

The only time you alot of white in a horse's eye is when they are excited or panicked and the eyes tend to widen and roll around

Great job once again Eduardo.
I prefer oils in general but you are giving to those figures a very subtle combination of life and elegance.
What's next?
