A Fixture
The Bald headed horse.
Hey guys, I delayed in painting the horse, My wife had me painting the recreation room, not a very enjoyable task., but I finally got back on track.
The horse still needs more shadows and highlights.
Thank you very much for your patience.
advice and critique are most welcome.
I- Primed horse with floquil primer.
2- Undercoated the horse using burnt umber acrylic paint.
Oils
1 -Base - Windsor Newton brown madder alizarin + Rembrandt burnt sienna.
2 - Medium shadows - Liquitex dioxide purple,
Any purple will do.
3 -Dark shadows - mix ivory black into medium shadow.
4 - Medium highlight - Mars red.
5 -Extreme highlights - Mars orange applied to the uppermost part of the horse.
6-Extreme shadows - pure Ivory black.
The eyes
used the same black mixture as stated above,when dry I will give the eye a wash with cadmium red deep, and add the catch light with a little titanium white.
After eye is completely dry,I will mix some ttwo part clear epoxy glue and apply it over the entire eye, to give it a nice sparkle.
The hoofs.
Base - Parchment + raw Sienna.
Shadow- burnt umber.
Highlight - unbleached titanium.
Horse shoes-
Testor silver with a little burnt umber and ivory black added to it.
Shadows - ivory black.
Highlight- testor silver with a touch of burnt umber.
Catch light - pure silver.
The mouth - .
The tongue
Base- Cadmium red with a little parchment mixed into it.
Highlight -Titanium white with a little bit of the base color.
Teeth
Base- unbleached titanium with a little burnt umber and a touch of cadmium red.
Shadow- burnt umber.
High light - unbleached titanium.
Extreme highlights - titanium white.
When completely dry, usually after two weeks, I will give it a light sheen
I use a mixture of 25% linseed oil and 75% turps, I apply this mixture with a large flat brush, when dry, and it will give the horse natural looking sheen.
Next I will paint the saddle.
Cheers.
