We're done!!! In this post we'll paint the horse and put him all together. I've made him a "Strawberry Roan" in color, sort of a pinkish brown. I've always wondered how this color would look as a woodcarving and I think he turned out pretty good. For a color guide I went to the Rio Rondo website at www.riorondo.com. Scroll down to the bottom of the first page and click on "Site Index". Now scroll down to "Books" and under "Reference Pics" you find just about all the colors of a horse you can imagine. If you want more you can scroll further down to the galleries. This is a terrific reference site for horses. I also buy my little buckles here.-
I think this project turned out pretty well. Should you be in Dayton, Ohio this coming weekend you can check out my pony at the Artistry in Wood show. I'll also be giving a talk on carving horses. If you can't make it but still have a question just drop me a comment and I'll try to give you an answer.
Lynn,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for putting on the excellent demonstration on horse carving at the Dayton show. The finished piece looks even more impressive than the photos if that is possible! Your teaching method was excellent, your stories humorous, and the information valued. Thanks again and hope you will return for many more shows as your display is always one of the most impressive there.
