How do you made the "silver things" on the saddle cloth?? Thickness of the wire etc.

Marc

Silver things are lead wire twisted manually. I have several diameters. this is 0.23 mm

first approach to horse painting. A picture if a real arabian horse will be merged with the horse paint by Gros


the palette is made with
Ivory black
burnt sienna
burnt umber
dark violet
titanium white
cadmium yellow

pictures show you a very early stage. Isn't an easy horse to be balanced

Dear Ivo,

Thank you for providing such amazing work. I am inspired to try out some of your techniques.

I've a doubt... Murat horse has to be white but I'm fighting with the colors... what do you think? I continue to paint it white or is better to change

last update

 

[debrito]

Murat looks great....your best representation of him...The horse looks a little bit silver, but you still working on it.

Looks marvellous. I’d suggest a darker mane, tail and forelock which with darker or differently coloured horse harness, ribbons and of course the horse’s eyes painted in would provide a good contrast to there being too many light colours.
