Hi guys, I’m working on a rocking horse (pics will be up in the WIP thread as soon as I find the camera cable 🙄 ) and have decided to paint her a “Blue Roan” color. I have a bunch of reference pics culled from the net but was wondering is any of you artists have any tips / paint color suggestions? I want her to look good though not too realistic, kinda fairytale-ish but not too fairytale-ish if that makes any sense
Thanks!!! 😀
hmmm….if it’s a large rocking horse….and this is only a suggestion…I’d suggest perhaps doing a dark base coat, of the blue grey shading you’re wanting, then taking white spray paint and “mist” the piece while holding the can way back…so it would leave a mist of flecks…..then you could detail the piece, without having to hand paint each little roan fleck. 🙂
The following artist is very good at roans maybe you could ask her:
Caroline Boydston

I know the following is a bay roan and you are doing blue but I just wanted you to see 😉

I can go trick or treating at her place, well… I’d have to find it first…
