Mini Ravenhill done!

I felt almost well enough today to do a little work in the studio, it didnt last long. But I do have updates:

Mini Ravenhill is DONE, just needs to be sprayed.

AA Andy is not going as well as I would like. I wanted a dark bay, kinda got that, but all his shading is disappearing in the photo. I attempted dapples, but they ended up leaving a bit of a mess and were mostly abandoned.

Ahh 3 day weekends...

and too cold to spend much time at the barn sooooo its STUDIO TIME :)

Jackies Bitty Bosco is DONE

Still working to get the lighting right with my home made light box

Mini Ravenhill is getting close to being done!

and I've made progress on my kludged attempt at a light box without spending any money!

Materials:

Clear plastic square storage box (damaged from being used for real horse stuff)

Blue cloth (existing piece I was using before, needs to be tacked up before I can do bigger models, just propped up right now)

Wax paper covering the outside of the box for diffusion of light

Existing desk lamp

Clip on lamp I bought for real horse shows but only used once

You can see by the sm resins its a big box so I should have no problem with trad models. Now I just need to find someplace thats not in the basement to set it up. Its so cold down there plus I risk dropping something or tripping down the old stairs or both.

Progress, somewhat!

Worked on the mini Ravenhill a bit and while I had the oils out decided to practice some more on a sm cm I started in summer.

When life gives you lemons...

use oils!

Since my airbrush is all but out of commission I decided to get out the oils again.

First pass at a frame overo on my mini Ravenhill. I intended a much darker liver chestnut on him but I'm liking the red chestnut as is so will go with it! (see this is why its hard to take comissions!)

I plan on adding more color to the lower chest but my eyes were crossing after doing this much!
