Title: Empire pistol hero on a gypsy horse
Post by: DariusZero on September 01, 2010, 10:39:48 AM

I googled the colour patterns of black and white horses, so this horse is painted accurate to reality. You probably love the rider too ( at least I do.)

I love the colour scheme of the horse and I love the  light barding of the horse to, fits perfect.  :eusa_clap:

It looks great.

Maybe try washing the grey with 1:1 asurmen blue and devlan mud, make it a bit less contrasty.

Are you referring to the shades on white parts of the horse? If so...I allready washed them first with diluted badab black and then went over that with several white glazes. Well, I might go over a few times more.... :|

The washmix I recommended is grey, so it is very light.

If that fails, trying adding dots of black on the white near the borders, or vise versa.

Since "A Fistful of Dollars" you should know that you shouldn't make jokes about the colour or size of a horse/mule...  :biggriin:

By the way... really nice painting.

Mules are infertile.

Just thought I'd say that.

It's not a joke, it's a fact.
