That's a beauty Ralph , did you use the oil paste method for the horse?


I've been shown it but haven't tried it yet

Not sure what you mean by "oil paste method".


But here is how I did it.


The horse was base coated with a yellowish brown in acrylics.


Over this I put a thin layer of burnt umber oil.this was then wiped off until some of the base coat shows through on the highlights


I then used yellow ochre oil and wiped tiny amounts all over the highlights and blended this with a soft brush.


I then went back and put a bit more shade in with burnt umber with a minute touch of black.


Hope this helps.
