Hi Tommi !

Thank-you very much for your reply.

For the horse i have use Humbrol #28 matt as primer.
For the base coat i have mixed a relatively dark gray,from white,black and some touch of blue,just to give a (colder) gray,instead of a warm color. for the base coat i use vallejo acrilycs,sorry i dont have the ratio of the mix,i mix the color and when i am satisfied with the result i apply the paint.

All the rest of the work is done using Winsor Newton superfine grade oils paint.

My technique is difficult to explane because i use a glazing technique thinning the pigment with lighter fluid,to obtain the consistency of tea.

I apply the oils very thin for shadows and straight from the tube for the lights and highlights.

On my pallette i have a buvar paper and i put my oils on it, to remove the linseed oils from the pigment as much as possible.

Hi alway's paint the light first and the shadow's after

Hi build the contrast this way, lights ,shadow's, lights,shadow's,until i am satisfied with the level of contrast.

Of course for this one i have paint the dapple first ,right on the base coat using titanium white.

And the shade and light process was done once the dapples was completely dry,(48 hours.)

Needless to say ,good documentation is crucial to achieve good results.

All the details are done when all the rest of the horse as dried.


IF you want more info's on the glazing technique please feel free.

Hope these explanations are understandable.

Have a nice day.

Claude

Superb piece of work Claude!

Cheers,
Marcel.

Superbe Claude, en effet le plus beau cheval de couleur blanc que j’ai vu....
Je serai intéressé de savoir un plus sur votre technique de l’application de l’huile, bien sure si vous êtes disponibles.
Au plaisir.
