I arrived a day early this year in order to hopefully snag some great deals. That paid off! Stay tuned for that in my loot post when it's all over. ;)<br>
<br>
I arrived at the Clarion after two days of driving, or more like my mom driving. I was feeling very tired and slept just about the whole way to Lexington!<br>
<br>
My mom was the main driver and navigator. Here she is in her groove, somewhere in the mountains of Maryland!<div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU1PkPJ3bYZFwVydvHMZraqoWG6X18dauiYePN2KnORmu3FeQCbhVwxxObMsQLK9PCo5-m9pLio6PGYY5s0kzN09ScGextSb787-DoOf-EtlzopWI89mKf22i9NeTkSZ93dN4HUFLIRiA/s640/blogger-image-1258270006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU1PkPJ3bYZFwVydvHMZraqoWG6X18dauiYePN2KnORmu3FeQCbhVwxxObMsQLK9PCo5-m9pLio6PGYY5s0kzN09ScGextSb787-DoOf-EtlzopWI89mKf22i9NeTkSZ93dN4HUFLIRiA/s640/blogger-image-1258270006.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Just a few minutes after leaving this rest area, we had a great view of the sunset.

My cell phone was handy and at the ready so I used that! It's decent... :D</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">After this we drove to a not-so-nice motel and stayed the night.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Bright and early we took my trusty car in to have an oil change because it was making weird noises. It helped quite a bit, thankfully!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">We drove another six hours before reaching the Clarion Hotel. The first thing we noticed upon walking in the doors was the staircase was gone! They did some major renovations to add in an elevator. The stair case is now located off to the right when you enter through the main doors. It's quite nice! The elevators are also fully operational now, unlike last year. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">As far as renovations go, the wifi is also improved. It is faster and doesn't cut out as much.

I sold just about everything I had brought to sell already, only leaving two wonderful little pieces to go. Unfortunately without a huge honkin shelf full o' ponies people don't really care to come in. So, they will probably come home with me! No complaints here, I really like these two!</div><div><br></div><div>Thursday afternoon I did some more shopping around the hotel. I stopped by Tiffany Purdy's room to admire her absolutely jaw-dropping works of art. I don't think any quality of picture could do these beauties justice, you MUST see them in person. They quickly went out of my price range, but I'm really hoping that Flash ends up in Region 10!</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuAgPSajtlz1bfYsXfWaufsjkq4wR5uCfvYTnmBjh9B6-McRKuVYQnGdLIKBib4dnYmM2WtdfDWRZ1zFz1X0T1yspiC3PptYEd7noyASG7aM1etQ2dcyLCjdDSxSloUccXJHJY9b67gu4/s640/blogger-image-2069447667.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuAgPSajtlz1bfYsXfWaufsjkq4wR5uCfvYTnmBjh9B6-McRKuVYQnGdLIKBib4dnYmM2WtdfDWRZ1zFz1X0T1yspiC3PptYEd7noyASG7aM1etQ2dcyLCjdDSxSloUccXJHJY9b67gu4/s640/blogger-image-2069447667.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This is Tiffany Purdy's beautiful Flash custom.

Everyone makes mistakes and needs to start over. I definitely do! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a new artist, things don't always go as planned, experiments go awry, and I need a way to get the failed attempt off. Unfortunately "Easy-Off" is VERY toxic and it's in an aerosol container, making it hard to apply only to the model. Inhaling "Easy-Off" can seriously hurt your lungs, eyes, and it does burn your skin. If you use that, you MUST use a respirator mask and rubber/latex/vinyl gloves. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SO, why not try something slightly safer? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I read about this on Facebook and decided to try it out for myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I'm not sure if I am allowed to post the original post with the name of the person here, without permission, and I don't know them. I don't want to bother anyone so feel free to join and check out the original post, can't miss it, it's lengthy! It's from July 5th.

I slightly modified the directions to better suit what I had on hand.</div>

I couldn't find any Purple Power at Wal-Mart, they must have been out. I did manage to get the last bottle at Lowes. It is more expensive at Lowes. This bottle (larger one, 1 gallon I think) was $8.00 compared to $5.00 at Wal-Mart.</div>

I start by picking a resin that I feel needs a better paint job. In this case, it was too humid when I sealed my Snegir resin and the finish got bumpy and rough. That just won't due!</div>

If your model has an air hole, fill it in with apoxie and redrill it after soaking. It will ruin your model if the mixture get inside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once you've picked a model that needs to be stripped, get a container/bucket that the model will fit in.</div>

I used a tuberware container that was large and tall. I then put a 1/4 water to 3/4 Purple Power mixture in. I only diluted it so save the cleaner. It still worked perfectly. </div>

Completely submerge the model in the mixture. Make sure to set it in gently so it doesn't break. This guys ears are phenomenally detailed but thin and pointy - I had to be careful with them!</div>

I let him sit like this overnight, it was probably about 12-14 hours. I didn't touch him or check on him at all during that time. He is an artist resin and probably will hold up better than a Breyer. I've never tried this with a Breyer or Stone. Check on them frequently as that plastic is much more susceptible to damage I hear.</div>

The next morning I got him out and check on him. You can see the white film, that's the finish that was dissolved. He was pretty goey and yucky to touch! Be careful, they do get slippery. You SHOULD use gloves, but I forgot. I then rinsed him in cold/luke warm water.</div>

While you are rinsing, start scrubbing! I use an old toothbrush. I feel that the firmer the toothbrush the better. This one is old and over-used, it's too soft and takes a lot more scrubbing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will notice the paint will come off in flimsy flakes. You can go ahead and peel it off if you want, or just keep scrubbing it away. A rough sided scrubby/sponge will also do wonders.</div>

There will sometime be a difficult spot. That would be this guy's face and fetlocks. Stick him back in, or only stick in the parts that need more soaking time. I did not make a fresh mixture, I just stuck him I'm in the same mixture, in a smaller container.</div>

This is after he had been sitting in the mixture for about 6 hours. Even the primer on his belly was lifted, though it wasn't submerged.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Scrub it all away.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you have soaked multiple times and some paint just won't come off, don't worry. You can sand it away with some fine grit sandpaper. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When you are satisfied, wash the model with cold water and soap to remove any of the product still there. It WILL react with your paint/primer and ruin the integrity of the paint work put on after. So give them a good cleaning!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you scrub vigorously you should wear safety glasses or a mask. Little bits of the liquid will go flying while scrubbing and it can be inhaled/swallowed - that's not good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a drying agent and will make your skin a bit dry. Use lotion before if you don't have gloves. Then wash your hands with soap and water after handling the model.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
SAFETY FIRST, PLEASE!</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">SPECIAL RUNS:<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-What do
you do when you’re called up for your special run?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can only go through the line when your time is called. The time is located right on your ticket. Go 10-15 minutes BEFORE that time. A Breyer rep. will call a random number, this is the starting number. Say the number was 250. The person with the number 250 on their ticket is first in line, followed by 251, then 252, and so on. Number 249 is absolute last in line. There will be people holding signs throughout the line to make finding your place easier. You can always ask people around you what their number is to get a better idea of where to go. Then, you wait in line until you are allowed to enter the store. That's it! It's pretty easy and everyone is willing to help if you get lost.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-How long
do the Special Run lines take?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That depends on where you are in line. If you are first, maybe 15 minutes. If you are last, the entire hour. I usually spend about 40 minutes in line.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-Do you
have to pay for special runs separately or does the ticket mean you’ve already
paid?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
YES! Buying a three-day ticket and receiving a SR ticket does not mean you can just get 'em and go. You DO have to pay for the special run(s) you want. The prices are posted on the program, located on the Breyer site.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">CLARION:<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-What is
the Clarion like?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Clarion, to me, is the best part of the entire event. There is ALWAYS something going on whether it be room sales, the Artisan's Gallery, Swap Meet, or people just milling about. It can, and does, get a bit hectic Friday and Saturday night between 6 and 10. If you are staying at the Clarion and want to go out to dinner, have fun. You will NOT get a parking space (most likely) if you return during these times and the Clarion folks don't give a damn, even if you are staying there. Been there, done that. They really outta start giving out parking passes so those staying can actually park...if you're not staying there and want to shop, hitch a ride with friends or walk from the neighboring hotels. You really do make life harder by bringing a car - and you don't usually make friends.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-Which
hotel is best?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Clarion is by far the most active, and the only hotel I've stayed at. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-When do
you book to get the hotel?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You will not get a room at the Clarion without making a reservation, usually a year or more in advance. Those who stay there have the option to re-book the same room for next year, meaning most of the rooms are already taken before BF is even over. There is a rather long wait list that you can be put on to be notified of an open room. Last I heard, my friend couldn't get a room for 6 YEARS. You need to be proactive about it and call frequently and early on the reservation day set-up by the Clarion.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-Is parking
always crowded, at the park and hotel?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yep. Especially Friday and Saturday night. Traffic too. BE AWARE: There is ALWAYS traffic getting in and out of the park during popular times (8-10AM and 4-6PM I find).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">MONEY:<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-How do you
balance out your money?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I don't really "balance" my money. I have a mental list of items I want, and then I just save up for them. I spend most of it early, usually Wednesday and Thursday.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-What is to
be expected, price wise?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I occasionally find great deals, but nothing super spectacular. The prices are usually market-value. Look up the models on eBay and MH$P throughout the year to see what they are going for and expect to pay around that amount. If it's a popular model, add a bit. Everyone wants more money to spend, including those selling from rooms.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-How should
you spend your money through the 3 days?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I spend it early to find good deals and get the items I am looking for. I hardly ever spend money on Sunday. I spend the majority Thursday and Friday.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-How much
money should be brought?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It depends on what you want. Make a list of the models you will be looking to buy and find how much they are going for. Add up your list, add a bit of "cushioning" and that's a good goal.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-Are the
prices better at BF than other events?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not really. There are a few great deals to be found, but they go fast. I've found they are average market-value. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-How to
talk a seller into a lower price?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p>Don't be rude. Seriously. Don't low-ball them, they will take you for a kid and decide not to sell to you. Do your research and know how much the model is worth/currently going for. Offer that amount - if there is damage, rubs, scratches, etc. point it out nicely and adjust your offer accordingly. If they decline, you can always ask what the lowest amount they'd take is. If their lowest is still unfair or too high, decline and buy from someone else who actually wants to make a sale. My view: it's better to sell for a bit lower than expected than not make a sale at all. If the seller is EVER rude or condescending, just walk away. I look young, event though I am a legal adult and have had sellers treat me as if I know nothing. Walk away, do not buy ANYTHING from them. No need to support the rotten apples.</o:p></div>

-Are
Breyer’s cheaper at BreyerFest than in shop?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It really depends on what you are looking for. Regular runs are about the same as market value, which is what most shops sell, so no they are not particularly cheaper.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">-What is sold at BF, are there
retired Breyers?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">There is EVERYTHING! Regular runs, special runs, vintage models, OOAK Breyers, Breyer animals, resins, artist resins, chinas, Stones, and many other brands.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

Not really. There are usually only a handful of "good" models that you won't find elsewhere for the original price. And, you never know what will be there for certain. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
-What can
you find in the NPOD?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Old BreyerFest SRs, artist proofs of regular runs (nothing really collectible or special about them), and maybe an event model or two. Nothing exceptionally rare usually.</div>

It is located on the map. It is in the covered arena. Ask anyone and they can point you to it.</div>

-How early should I get there?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-What models would I recommend?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Whatever you like. There are literally thousands of models to pick from.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
***What are some recommendations for newbies?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It's honestly not as big of a deal as people say. It's not super crazy or super dramatic unless you've never left your home. Then it might be a bit active. Otherwise, you'll be fine. Wear comfortable shoes, eat breakfast at the hotel, bring water or drinks as they always run out. Snacks are a good idea. TALK TO PEOPLE! Make friends! One of the things I wish I'd done my first year. Makes the entire trip more fun.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
***What is something I wish I’d done differently?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wish I had talked to more people in line and done more workshops.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
***What was my first BreyerFest like?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was fun but quite. Being shy at BF will almost ensure you won't get the full experience.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
***Personal experience buying at BreyerFest/Clarion.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Simple. Cash mostly, a few take cards via Square or similar devices but very few.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
***Am I going this year?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

Yep!</div>

-Where do I pick up my celebration model?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After entering, go to the big ramp and there is a window on the right. There are almost always orange cones off to that side to separate the line from those going into the arena.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

Everything is sold at BF. Models, tack, props, real horse stuff, jewelry, leather wares, pottery, you name it.</div>

As a new-ish artist, I am always discovering new techniques and ways to improve my work.<br />
<br />
This "new technique" is one I have never heard of, or seen anyone else use before. It came about from a reference picture of a hoof. The hoof was a shell color with very fine brown lines, some stripes, and a pronounced cornet band. It was exactly what I wanted for this commission. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a small enough brush to get those brown lines fine enough. Perhaps I should just cut a bristle off one of my brushes and use that!<br />
<br />
That, however, would take absolute ages, and many mistakes before getting right. There is so much more room for error in that way.<br />
<br />
Instead, I remembered way back to when I accidentally used a wet flat brush with pigments. The pigments were very fine and made more brush strokes than regular acrylic paints. Of course, at that time, that is exactly what I did NOT want!<br />
<br />
I wanted exactly that for my hooves though! I used a small (size 3 I believe) cheap, flat, Golden Taklon brush with somewhat firm bristles. I first dipped it into my cup of water, dabbed it on a paper towel to remove a majority of the water, and they flicked out the bristles with my finger. This separated all the bristles and got the rest of the extra water off. I then dusted the top of my pigment jar with the desired pigment color, and dipped the tip of the bristles in the pigment so only the very ends of the bristles had a tiny bit of pigment. Because the brush was still a bit went, the pigments became more of a paste than a powder. I then brushed this on in the direction of the hoof, from top to bottom. It created very thin lines in a diluted version of the pigment color, becoming darker on some lines and lighter on others. A nice variety! I didn't do any horizontal stripes, I thought it would look too busy and "over done". If you water down the pigments even more, you might be able to add some horizontal growth lines without it looking over-done. Or, you could only do horizontal stripes! I guess it just depends on the reference and look you are trying to achieve.<br />
<br />
This is the result:<br />

He would look fabulous with metal horse shows, but that's not part of the order. He is a fancy barefoot warmblood! He will get his touch-ups and the rest of his details later today. Definitely one of the snazziest I've done!</div>

I thought it might be a fun post to share my difficulties with the latest. It is one of my favorite molds to paint. It is smooth and everything is well defined. I always find the off-side eye a bit wonky, its not shaped perfectly. To remedy that, I have to look at quite a few references to make sure I'm not painting the eye slanted. It takes a bit of trial-and-error, but eventually it works out.<br />
<br />
My most recent Gilen custom is a light buttermilk buckskin pinto. This color was slightly challenging. I usually have a tendency to go darker to add more shading. I wanted this color to be vibrant but pale. The base coat and first layer of shading were airbrushed to give it a very subtle look. It was dark enough, but still had color. I used a very light tan with a lot of white to get the base coat how I wanted it. My main concern was that it would look too white. Thankfully I have worked with my airbrush colors enough to know when they dry, they are usually one shade darker and not as vibrant. I cannot always rely on how it looks in the airbrush cup. It can VERY misleading and result in a color that is far from what I had been hoping for.<br />
<br />
The next challenge with this color was adding some real color, such as yellows and red-browns, without making them over powering. I feel I accomplished this by using Earth Pigments and a big fluffy brush. I picked a big fluffy brush for a couple reasons. One, they don't hold much pigment if you tap them out well. Sometimes, it all comes out and you're left with an empty brush! Secondly, it blends the color better, and gives it a softer look. This makes it easier to add a slight area of color without really noticing it. It just blends in with the piece as a whole. Choosing the color to define the muscles was hard. I didn't want this guy to be incredibly yellow, my reference wasn't a banana, canary...you get the point. I chose Cyprus Umber Warm and Natural Sienna mostly due to the red and orange tones. These colors tied the piece together, gave it some interest, and didn't overpower the buttermilk color I was going for.<br />
<br />
That was about it for the challenging aspects of this custom. I really like the color overall, it's soft and appealing to me. I know I will be painting this color again!<br />

I'm back again, this time with an exciting topic. Mediums!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was asked on Instagram to discuss my opinion, and the differences, of using different mediums (oils, airbrushing, pastels/pigments) to paint model horses.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before I start, I wanted to mention that there is absolutely no "wrong" medium. Each of these mediums has it's pros and cons, though when these artists use them, I'm not sure there are any cons!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first -- and the one I find to be gaining popularity quickly -- is that of oil paints. In my opinion, these can be the hardest to use, but also give the most vibrant colors. I am always in total awe of an artist who can *really* use oil paints, and by *really* use them, I mean those who get a silky smooth finish with perfectly blended colors. The amount of practice that goes into that must be staggering.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have picked two really well-known and, in my opinion, leading artists who use oil paints to discuss here. While there are lots of artists who produce beautiful models with oils, these particular two create models that really speak to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first is Tammi Palmarchuk of<span style="color: #4e5665; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"> </span></span>Winter Glen Studio. The second is Chris Flint of Beau Cheveaux Creations. <br />
<br />
When I see models Tammi has painted, I'm always struck to see how beautifully oil paints can bring a brilliant vibrance to the color and make the model stand out. Her workmanship is exceptional, with finishes that are remarkably smooth and well blended. This is no small feat when using oil paints, as I've experienced myself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some people believe oil paints give the most durable finish and that models painted with oils are the best for performance showing. Others believe that any medium can be equally durable: that the durability just depends on the quality of the finish. I am not necessarily subscribing to either camp here. Oil paints dry to a remarkably hard surface, while other mediums (I'm thinking of pastels and pigments particularly) need a series of sealants during the painting process to attain the right color depth and intensity. Every custom-painted model is going to need to be sealed with some kind of finish, and it's the final finish that will determine the durability of the paint job, even with the harder-drying oil paints. When performance showers express a preference for oil paint, it's to suggest the harder oil finish will stand up to the repeated contacts with show tack. However, remember that the tack will be touching only the finish, not the actual paint, so it's the finish that's most at risk rather than the paint. <br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyhow --getting back on topic -- oil paints are my favorite medium because of the potential vibrance of the colors, and flawless blending that's possible in the right hands. The colors can be very true, especially for black horses. The black is BLACK, not a dark grey or muddy brown. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Without further babbling, here are examples of Tammi Palmarchuk's excellent work using oil paints:</div>

As you can clearly see, size doesn't seem to matter here: the buckskin is near stablemate sized. Tammi's colors are always glowing and spot on, as are the dapples and other features. They don't look choppy: you can't see where a color ends, as the blending is absolutely perfect. You can see more of these beauties on the <a href="https://winterglenstudios.wordpress.com/">Winter Glen Studio</a> website and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/WinterGlenStudio">Facebook Page</a>. Winter Glen Studio's flashy works of art are many-time live show champions as well!<br />

The second artist, Chris Flint, also has a fabulous talent for oil painting, and has been showing her gorgeous creations for many years. I proudly own a couple of models painted by her that will have a forever home with me.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see, these two artists both use oil paints, but their creations look vastly different. Each has her own special set of techniques, which bring stunning life to these marvelously detailed models. Just because artists use the same medium, doesn't mean they use them the same way. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chris Flint of Beau Cheveaux Creations creates works of art with extraordinarily smooth finishes and crisp details. Her models can replicate their references with amazing accuracy, and usually and have a velvety look to them -- that's how smooth they are!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her work has won so many championshsips, including at NAN, that her Hall of Fame is 32 pages long. Wow! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chris mostly paints traditional scale models, though the very few-and-far-between smaller models are just as wonderful.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my opinion, Chris' work is usually a bit more subtle and soft, but can be just as brilliant and fiery as any other, as shown below.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some examples of her stand-out beauties:</div>

Chris Flint really shows a sculpture off to its very best when she paints models: the muscles are nicely defined without looking overemphasized; the muzzles are so well blended they look as soft and velvety as a real horse's nose; and the hooves are beautiful while still realistic. All this makes each piece of her work one of a kind.</div>

Both these artists are at the top of their craft, and create amazing works of art. I think they are among the absolute best using oil paints today to bring models to life, and they have the rosettes and praises from happy customers to prove it. </div>

Oil paints are not for the faint of heart: it takes a lot of practice to get the blending, shading, and other details down. Chris Flint has published a book that I found really helpful as I got my feet wet in this demanding medium. I don't mind admitting that my own efforts have yet to get what I consider decent results, but I hope to keep improving and become proficient some day! It seems you can achieve any color imaginable using oil paints. It really is a wonderful medium.<br />

<br />
I think that this is a beautiful resin, with a very refined, feminine look. Love it! This is <a href="http://seunta.com/">Seunta LLC</a>'s Arcane resin. I highly recommend resins from there, great for your first time painting a traditional resin as they are clean casts and if you seriously mess it up, you aren't out a huge amount of money, but if it turns out well, you have a stunning new show pony! Best of both worlds right there!!!<br />
<br />
Without further ado, meet my unnamed Arcane resin who will be hitting both the performance and halter live show rings this season!<br />

I met lots of new people, caught up with old friends, and saw the stunning new models painted over the winter that were floating around.<br />
<br />
One thing I learned: sitting with the right people can make your show much more memorable! Brenda, the show hostess, made sure to place everyone in just the right spots!<br />
<br />
This was an all halter show, no elaborate set ups or shiney tack! That will have to wait for another time.<br />
<br />
With such a long class list, no plastic ponies were left behind!<br />
<br />
And without further ado, here are the dusted off, fresh from the wintery cold, said plastic ponies!<br />

<br />
Hornet by Maggie Bennett has arrived today, and he is awesome! He has wonderful little veins all over, really giving the impression that he is a hot headed, worked up warmblood. His face is spot on, with a focused expression, beautiful detail, and overall lovely presence.<br />
<br />
I am SO thrilled I snagged him!<br />

He is definitely one of the more dynamic, action-packed jumpers out there. He doesn't look stiff at all - like some sculptures can. He has motion, and lots of it!</div>

Maggie didn't only create a wonderful sculpture, she also packed him very nicely, and really gave the new present feel - I almost forgot I paid for him!!!</div>

I haven't posted in...weeks! Sorry about that, but I have been very busy painting and working on some model horsey what-nots. I put together quite a few YouTube video with thousands (literally!) of live show pictures. I'm quite pleased with them! I will be attending Southern New England Winter Round-Up and Manchester Model Madness in the next couple months and will make videos for those too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope to have some finished pieces to show you all soon, mostly micro minis.</div>

I have been working away in my little studio lately, and I completed my first micro mini - EVER! It was a lot of fun, a huge challenge, and I cannot wait to do it again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The eyes were the hardest part for me, it was hard to get all the layers on nicely, but after about 2 hours, I got it! Eye whites, pupil, iris, all there. Whew!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will be getting some more micro minis to paint and eventually sell in February (for my birthday). I'm excited, I have some really cool references to try out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until my camera is working again, I only have an "eh" cell phone pictures.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I know that I have a lot of room for improvement, but I am confident that each mini will be better and better. :)</div>

I took a break for a long time (3+ years) from doing customs, I think the last one I did was in 2010, which won a reserve champ in the BreyerFest Youth Show. I only worked on customs for about a year in 2009-2010 and then stopped due to school. Well, fast forward to December, 2014 - I started up the studio again! Hopefully for longer than a year this time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The latest customs out of the studio are a custom Breyer Gilen and a Breyer Totals resin.</div>

I haven't posted in a little while, and this post is a bit late!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This pretty gal arrived much sooner than expected, she shipped out before Seunta's holiday shipping break was over, and on top of that the P.O. was quick too! Not to mention that I got her for a GREAT price because of Seunta's holiday sale. <a href="http://seunta.com/">Seunta</a> is the only place I have ever seen do a holiday sale that starts at 70%+ off, for great (not even seconds!) traditional scale resins. The original prices are even a steal!</div>

Arcane's face is absolutely fantastic! I love how narrow but strong it is, it really gives the sculpture a unique look. The mane is also really cute, it almost looks like a short mane from the off side, and then when you see the other side, it's a full luxurious mane! </div>

The casting is nice and strong, there are no weak areas (and I only mention this because there was a resin at BF a few years back that had a gaping hole in its side where the resin was paper thin, scary!). The detail is great, and the casting is pretty darn clean. I am no expert, but I don't see all that much prepping needed other than cleaning up a few areas, some sanding, and prepping a seam here and there. I actually didn't notice any pin holes after a quick-ish look either, not that there aren't any, they are just so small or few and far between (yay!). The model stands perfectly too. Truly one of the cleaner casts I've come across. If I were going to send her to a professional painter, I wouldn't pay an arm and a leg to have her prepped, which is a great money saver! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm definitely going to look for "Dynasty" at BreyerFest 2015, I will be saving money until BF and not buying any models, at least until I can go crazy at BF where I hope to purchase more than just one Seunta resin! </div>

I look forward to doing business with Seunta in the future, and highly recommend them. You will find friendly customer service, quick shipping, nicely packed models, and a great transaction.</div>

I made it my goal to try and help model horse hobbyists that are getting into customizing by creating my own customizing tutorials, and also by spreading the word about other artists wonderful tutorials. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today will be a short post, but a really helpful one, made possible by <a href="http://crileycustoms.weebly.com/">Christina Riley</a>. Her work is beautiful, winning in the show ring and really standing out! Be sure to check out her website showcasing her customs (I have linked her website to her name, just click on it!).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She recently posted a tutorial on painting white markings and mapping to her YouTube account, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1J-HUzdHrS8mmHd4zNGSUg">PozziToons</a>.</div>

I will be putting her tutorial to work when I get back into customizing! Thanks Christina!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She also has some other awesome tutorials on her YouTube channel, like painting an Appaloosa, her review of Earth Pigments, painting eyes, and so on, <u>definitely</u> worth checking out.</div>

I saw this little mini painted by her at The Region X Championships 2014. I took these pictures, but the little guy is just so small and I was so rushed I didn't capture all the fabulous details at all! You can see many more detailed pictures of this guy on her website under the <a href="http://crileycustoms.weebly.com/winners-circle.html">Winner's Circle</a> tab, or click <a href="http://crileycustoms.weebly.com/lester.html">HERE</a> to view Lester's gallery.

While on Instagram, I have been asked many times how much it costs to commission a professional artist. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I simply cannot answer that, well, simply. No matter how many times I explain that it depends on the artist, color, and size - people still ask me for a "general estimate". However, I honestly don't know due to all the factors. Any estimate I give could be wrong and deter someone from considering a commission, or exclude a good artist who falls out of that price range. Both of which I don't want to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While searching around hobby sites, I discovered some links on <a href="http://riorondo.com/">Rio Rondo</a> (which is an amazing site for just about everything from tutorials, supplies, and resins plus a whole lot more) , which led me to Morgen Kilbourne's page listing various finish work artists, their specialties, and prices.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my opinion, this was a great discovery, and probably took a bit of time for Morgen to put together - thanks, Morgen!</div>

Now, for everyone asking me, just check there for a good sampling of artists, prices, and information. </div>

After my 4 year absence in the hobby and demolition of my studio, I have decided to get back into it any try again. However, this time I want to be better, more detailed, more realistic, and competitive. With this comes a whole new set of supplies rather than just painting for fun. I can honestly say I was not prepared for the actual cost of this kind of studio, and there for am reassembling my studio over a course of months, not days. In my mind I figured about $250 for all my acrylic paints for details and airbrushing, a new set of brushes, a new airbrush, a hood, and any other little things required. Realistically, I have ended up paying quite a bit more for everything, almost double. I really should have done more research on materials and costs for the correct stuff before starting to purchase items. Well, now I know!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I first bought some fluid acrylic paints by Tamiya after asking around for a good brand. A very kind hobbyist gave me a list of colors to get in order to paint most horse colors. In total, I bought 14 23 ml jars of paint at $3.40 each. I bought mine from <a href="http://www.tamiyausa.com/items/paints-amp-finishes-60/acrylic-paint-(flat)-23ml-60000">Tamiya America</a>.</div>

Then, I purchased some marking and detail brushes from Dick Blick and from my local Michaels. The brushes were about $6 each from Dick Blick, and a set of 10 brushes was $12 from Michaels. I got doubles of the same brushes I got from Dick Blick as back ups.</div>

I got some good all-round brushes and then some small detail brushes. These are a mix of brands including Blick Masterstroke Golden Taklon, Royal Taklon, and Daler Rowney. I got sizes ranging from 3/0 to 5/8. I got round and chisel blenders.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also got some gloss, and a basecoat spray paint (which I DON'T recommend, the nozzle gets clogged REALLY easily and sprays tacky globs all over). It's also expensive ($12.77 a can including MA tax), and in my opinion <u>definitely not worth it</u>. The Weathered Wood is for an experiment, which I might post about later, depending on how it goes. To replace this basecoat spray paint I got a brown primer. It's not as good of a color, but it's better than having to strip a primed model and start over - not to mention the extra hours of sanding!</div>

I am more inclined to commission or buy from an artist who gives back to the hobby, supports new, young artists, and who seems like they are a warm, friendly, understanding human being. Some artists can seem unapproachable because they are so famous in the hobby and because of that, I will always feel like a bother to communicate with them. This could potentially lose them business from the young upcoming hobbyists because these famous artists can actually become sort of scary to talk to.<br />
<br />
I like to see them on Model Horse Blab or other social media sites too, it makes me feel like they are really part of the hobby, not above it.<br />
<br />
I always admire and make an effort to support artists who create tutorials, how tos, books, instructional DVDs, YouTube videos, etc. and who recognize, help, and support younger hobbyists. Either tack makers, painters, or sculptors, I think much more highly of these artists than others who do not give back, and will always chose these guys over others.<br />
<br />
Another thing I look at is their Facebook page. Are their messages positive and encouraging, or strictly cold, hard business? Do they happily show client's pictures from live shows showcasing the artists work winning? Are they supportive of their clients, and do they accept new ones?<br />
<br />
These are all questions and ideas that run through my head when choosing an artist to commission or buy from. It can be a lot of fun to research other hobbyist's work and see what they are like!<br />
<br />
It's important to support the good people, and thank them for what they do. 😊Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17103439272609792704noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3351390640998867998.post-56003483337792174762014-12-29T17:29:00.000-08:002014-12-29T17:29:07.093-08:00My Christmas Resins<div style="text-align: center;">
Christmas was good to me this year, and I got a few new resins to really jump start my resin collection. A few have not arrived from overseas or holiday breaks in shipping, but I wanted to share the ones that have arrived, and what I plan on doing with them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first to arrive was "MEM No Inhibitions" sculpted by <a href="http://equine.aspenleafstudiosllc.com/">Jennifer L Scott of Aspen Leaf Studios LLC</a>. My mom purchased this resin from Jennifer L Scott and had a wonderful transaction, and No Inhibitons arrived quickly, well packed (I believe from <a href="http://www.mountainviewstudios.net/clients.htm">Mountain View Studios</a>, though I can't find the box to confirm this!), and is just a beautiful model! The casting is very clean and nice. I am definitely planning on purchasing more models from Aspen Leaf Studios in the future. The detail is phenomenal, and the horse is sculpted with all the Morgan-y characteristics that are incredibly hard to capture. You really can't go wrong with any of Jennifer's sculptures - they all look great! "MEM No Inhibitons" may be my first - but definitely won't be my last.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This girl will be sent off to <a href="http://www.boshevo.com/">Chris Nandell-Flint</a> to be painted a shaded red bay with my old horse Iesha's markings. To say the least - I am EXTREMELY excited!!!</div>

Next on the list are my <a href="http://maggiebennett.com/">Maggie Bennett</a> "Step It Out Mary" resins. These two little girls are adorable, and the detail on them is great. The castings have a few pin holes here and there, an occasional bubble, seams, but all are easily fixable. Overall the castings are good and I am very happy with both of them! I purchased a couple micro minis from Maggie Bennett earlier as well, and both transactions went very well, the horses were shipped very quickly, arrived quickly, and were packed fabulously. I plan on painting one to be a portrait of my mom's Racking Horse mare AngelBear, and the other a nice red bay.</div>

My year was great, show wise. As I was just getting back into the hobby, I didn't do as well as I'm sure I could have, if I took my time and really jumped in, but I wanted to relax and ease back into things. To say the least, I had a blast and am ready to really hop back into it in 2015!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With some brilliant new models, I am very excited!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, staying in 2014, my show year started with BreyerFest. I showed in the Open show for the first time. Let me tell ya, it is VERY different than the Children's/Youth shows. I did fairly well in the Youth show, winning a handful of glossies and an Overall Grand Champion in my few years there, but this year in the Open show I was actually quite thrilled to have even won a first place and a couple seconds! Wowzers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My glossy Manco Capac always does quite well for me in the show ring, I think he even got a first at BreyerFest the year before too. This was my big kick-off for the 2014 show season!</div>

The attention to detail and accuracy is beyond what you might see at other shows, really setting TRXC apart.<br />
<br />
TRXC is well known for it's Stakes classes. To enter a Stakes class, the model/set up must have won first or second place at a NAN qualifying Region 10 show prior to being shown in the Stakes class. All the entries in these Stakes classes are the best of the best, making these classes very intense!<br />
<br />
I was the official TRXC photographer this year, and I really appreciate everyone giving me the chance and making it a wonderful experience. Kudos to the awesome judges as well, those were some super hard classes! And, a special thank you to the show holder(s), it just wouldn't be possible without their time and hard work.<br />
<br />
In my opinion, TRXC was a huge success this year!<br />
<br />
On to the Performance set ups!<br />
<br />
I obviously cannot show all the remarkable entries, but here are just a few to give an idea of the awesomeness that is TRXC's Performance.<br />

The English Division was really somethin'. With wonderful tack and gorgeous models, this was one competitive division! The jumps were insanely detailed, the artists that put them together must know their stuff! Besides the tack and props, the dolls have really improved since my last trip to a performance show.</div>

With such an awesome English Division, of course the Western Division would be glorious too! The games and ideas portrayed in the Division were great, I really enjoyed reading the reference cards. The creativity is endless in Region 10!</div>

I have always been interested in painting model horses, but
I was never any good at it. I tried for a year or so with some luck and then
decided I needed some outside help. I had been using a cheap airbrush with
watered down store-bought acrylic paints. I didn't frequent Model Horse Blab
often enough to buy a membership to gain access to the "The Studio"
section as I was really shy and didn't want to post anything marking me stupid
when it came to hobby things. That changed after a little while when I started
to lightly post here and there, and eventually I realized that the people on
Blab had some of the same questions I did. They never called anyone stupid and
instead helped them, even if it was a really simple question that could have
been answered by Google. I have come to appreciate everyone on Blab and look
forward to the help that they offer. I highly recommend buying a membership to
Model Horse Blab, even if it is only for a month ($1.80 I think?). It is an
invaluable resource! The one problem I had with Blab when it came to customizing
was it was only on the computer and didn't cover every single nitty gritty
detail, unless you specifically asked. When you are making tack or painting a
model, it's always nice to be able to reference the information right in front
of me immediately. <o:p></o:p></div>

This 132 page spiral bound book covers absolutely everything from prepping to the finishing touches. It even covers repairs! There are tons of full color, large, clear images to guide you through the process of whatever you are doing and detailed descriptions to go along with them. It has given me valuable sculpting tips to get those pesky manes and tails looking fabulous, and even has color recipes for oil painting, which I have adapted to use with an airbrush. There are wonderful tips on customizing plastic models as well. This book is a must for anyone looking to customize model horses, even those who already do. You are sure to learn a lot.</span></span><span color:="" font-family:="" font-size:16.0pt="" mso-bidi-font-family:="" mso-fareast-language:ja="" pro="" quot="" source="" style="color: #999999; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 21px;"></span><br />

This book is a bit older, but still carries a lot of weight and inspiration. The diagrams are much better than any you will find on Google because they are hand drawn and specific to what is being made. There are some seriously helpful measurements and step by step guides to making saddles. I have also learned a whole bunch about different types of tack after going through the book. It's great to see how the styles have changed in some fashions, and others have stayed exactly the same. It goes over every kind of tack you can think of as well as how to add bling, knots, braids, patterns, and so on. All the pattern diagrams for saddles are included in this wonderful 210 page guide. If you ever thought about seriously making your own tack, this book will be invaluable to you. You will never be able to find the plates and diagrams anywhere else.</span><span style="color: #515151; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 21px; text-align: left; vertical-align: middle;"><span color:="" font-family:="" font-size:16.0pt="" mso-bidi-font-family:="" mso-fareast-language:ja="" pro="" quot="" source=""></span></span></div>

It is very in-depth and helpful, definitely understandable from a beginners point of view. Anna Kirby shows you how to take a few simple(ish) supplies and turn it into a beautiful stablemate scale english saddle. It is a spectacular buy at $10, and I had my copy printed and bound at OfficeMax for $20. If you want to dabble in tack making, I would definitely recommend this awesome little booklet! You will not be disappointed. This is by far the easiest saddle making tutorial I have read. The pattern diagram is provided, and steps to make a girth and saddle pad are included too. Perfect booklet for a beginner tack maker that wants to try their hand. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We have all been to a show, or browsing though the internet,
and come across a model with a heart-melting paint job. Whether it's the
vibrant color, labyrinth of intricate markings, incredible detail, or just the
overall piece, it has most likely happened a few times. After a while you might
have noticed all those gorgeous models were painted by the same artist, either
because the artist has a "signature look" about all their work, or
you came across the artist's website. Whatever the reason, those models really
stuck out and were hard to forget. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For me, those models are the beautiful works of Chris
Nandell-Flint, of <span style="color: orange;"><a href="http://www.boshevo.com/">Beau Cheveaux
Creations</a>.</span> Ever since joining the hobby, I have always admired her
work. The paint jobs are so clean and smooth looking, with eyes that are so
neat and tidy that they look real. Her eyes really stick out, you can spot a
piece painted by her from a mile away. At live shows you can go through the
champs and class winners and easily pick out the models she painted. They are
unlike any other artist's work. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The shading is outstanding. It looks soft and natural,
giving the model depth and a bright appearance. Her work with oils is, in my
opinion, some of the best out there. The pieces don't look overly complicated,
as some models do. The artist tries to pack so much shading and color in

<span style="color: #3f3f3f; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 21px; vertical-align: middle;">I recently purchased this DVD created by Danielle Feldman to jumpstart my painting skills. I watched the entire DVD in one sitting! I have always wondered how artist create some of the subtle details seen on models at live shows, and this DVD was great -- it did just that. It clearly stated what materials/supplies were being used in the beginning, and then also mentioned them throughout the video. Unlike most YouTube videos and blog tutorials, you saw the entire process, front start to finish, There were no gaps where you wonder, "So...what happened during the gap, it wasn't like that before!". This is a wonderful video if you are just starting out, or have been customizing for a while. It's always nice to see another method. I would highly recommend this video to anyone looking to take their painting to the next level. It covers pretty much everything you could think of, and a lot more. It very thoroughly covers: brown eyes, blue eyes, mixed eyes, dark hooves, shell hooves, striped hooves, shoes, shoe pads, chestnuts, ermine spots, teeth, tongues, glossing, dun factors (all of them!), dappling, and a bit about the supplies. She tells you what kind of brush to use, how to use the paint, why she prefers the supplies and materials, etc.<br /><br />It's not expensive, and really worth the $15! If you were ever on the fence about it, GET IT!</span><br />
