Stunning work Terry as always. The enlargements give a great guide to your detailed oil painting technique and are worth downloading for reference.

Cheers Borek

Superb work.

Wow! That is magnificent.

I would really like to know your technique on accomplishing the flea bit hair pattern on the horse. It is stunning.

Hi Jaybo, thanks for all the great compliments. When I paint horses I like to experiment with different horse markings and the techniques to achieve the effect I want. With this particular horse I base coated in a light grey acrylic then I did the usual shading and highlighting with oils. When dry I then “spotted” the horse with a slightly darker shade of the base coat colour but in oils. Once dry I then mixed a slightly darker shade of grey and again “spotted” it in. This process was repeated with varying darker shades of grey. Once all dry I mixed a slightly lighter shade of the basecoat in oils and applied this in the same manner as previously. Repeatedly lighter shades were applied right up to a pure white. I found the overall process quite effective in achieving the result I was after but it does require a degree of patience and because I use oils over acrylic there is also the drying time between applications to factor in. Hope this makes sense. I am currently working on a figure of the Polish General Jan Dombrowski who is riding a Piebald horse and I am finding this to be particularly interesting. I hope you will like the final result when I post it here in a week or so’s time.

Thanks again
Terry

Thanks for the tip Terry.

Fantastic painting Terry, your attention to detail is great.

Thanks for the info, Terry. I imagined you’d used a Spatter Cap on an airbrush to achieve the horse colouring.
