& just so you know...
But, by this morning this is what I had! :)
Happy last few hours of NaMoPaiMo everyone!!
Yesterday was details day for Rastus! M&T was painted & shaded in oils & a little white pastel. His white face was finished off with my 'ticking' mix (watered down white gesso, burnt umber acrylic, antique bronze Pearl-Ex, & gloss acrylic varnish) & pinked with a little burnt sienna oil. & his decorations were colored in with classic gold Precious Metals Premium Leafing Paint, & two shades of 'verdigris' blue acrylic mixed to my taste with metallic acrylic, platinum Precious Metals, & silver Pearl-Ex added for shimmer. & just so you know... All those decorations... Flowers, roll, roll tails, forelock, & bow... Took about six hours to finish! :P But, by this morning this is what I had! :) Please ignore the stupid quotation mark that slipped in unwelcomed to my copyrighting this round! }:| & after several more meticulous hours of carefully spraying the last layer of finish, & making sure it was flawless (cursed dust & hair!!), & adding that last detail of realism; glossing eyes, nostrils, & feet, & varnishing M&T & the decorations, I am happy to announce that with a day to spare, Rastus is FINISHED!!! May I introduce to you my newest addition to my showstring... SWF Apollo's Lyre. I plan to try to get better pictures of him tomorrow, & eventually I will get good & proper show pictures of him. Right now, I have other horses to get to: I will be attending the New Year's Bash Live on Saturday & would like to have a few more pieces finished before then. If you will be at the Bash, feel free to drop by my table & say hi to Rastus!
Happy last few hours of NaMoPaiMo everyone!!
