Painting horses is difficult but at the same time rewarding.Do your research on pelt colour patterns and schemes as well as on painting techniques.Don't rush it and I am sure you will get fantastic results.This looks like a wonderful figure so it is an excellent choice for painting a horse for the first time.Best of luck and do not forget to enjoy the process.

I am sure you will do it justice Graham - your painting is painting is coming along in leaps and bounds. Looking forward to seeing the final result - which will be very good.
Cheers
