Recreating birds on the PYOs is very challenging as a rule. Sometimes I look at drawings instead of actual pictures to help me recreate the plumage. Cartoons can also be inspiring.

You have to cheat. We only have the underwing here, but nothing stops you from applying the over wing pattern of light and dark blue, as pip and Etruscan suggested. You can cover the white completely and play with blues. If you’re not comfortable blending, try playing with dry brushing. The effect is different in each case, you have to see what speaks to you.

For antiquing, use a different colour depending on what you’re antiquing, so maybe black for the darker colours and a grey of some sort for the lighter colours. I usually antique over a clear protecting coat, otherwise, I remove some paint in the process (that means waiting 2 or 3 days to be SURE the top coat is dry).

I always expriment on the non-display side to be sure that I like the direction before moving to the display side.

Hope this helps!

Grab bags are items sold in the store. We know when they’re in the works, but not when they’ll be actually up for sale. Susie sometimes announces an approximate date. The newsletter is usually the official announcement.

Omg, Mimi, the hogs are fighting!

Actually, the original inspiration for the unicorn was a GB young unicorn named Q… and I tried to match the Pegasus to the unicorn, but somehow, the lines ended up thicker and rounder. I just went with it!

Bumping this to answer Lokie’s question about the Pegasus size (I didn’t want to post a pic in Mimi’s PYO thread).

I took a pic of them together above.

The Pegasus and the unicorn are almost the same size. The Pegasus is chunkier in a way, a bit Clydesdale-like, whereas the unicorn is daintier. I find they display well together and complement each other nicely.

They display very well together, actually, they’re basically the same size.
