Well, first picture of Ben in progress. Not had chance to do that much and the eye area always takes forever. Not done yet but getting there. |

Well I've worked further down Ben's face and also started to add the first touches to his muzzle area. This afternoon, I was putting in the acrylic and suddenly realized I'd still got quite a bit on the palette and didn't have much time before getting ready for work so I slapped it on the neck as base color. I know it looks a mess at the moment but I didn't want to waste the acrylic. I'll work on it once his head is done. |

The horses just happen to be a slightly different color. to each other. Sam is more liver chestnut with the paler flaxen mane and tail. Ben is more of the bright orange chestnut color. I haven't had to use loads of colors for this. Browns, blacks, gray for the muzzles, white yellow ochre, red, orange and that's it really. I can mix those colors to get other colors such as the skin color. on their muzzles, I use yellow ochre, lot of white and a touch of red. Put a little brown into that in the darker parts.
