I've seen this video many times( its awesome)! And I HAVE this horse!!!! exact one!! I got it from BreyerFest a few years ago at the clarion( sorry if I spelled that wrong)... fun fact: his name is Mozart!!!
Another helpful vid. I appreciate the time that you spend making them :) For some reason, I associate "Palomino" to the Breyer model, Lion Heart, Esprit mold (no idea why). And every time I see that specific mold, Because of how his mane flows separate from the body, I always wondered how difficult a successful repaint is on his neck beneath his mane would be without having to remove the mane first. (Same for the Arabian Mare & others with similar sculpt). Is it possible to partially paint a model & then add more customization? I can't visualize how that'd be successful - just wondering if it's ever been done.
I wouldn't think so. Usually customization just makes a mess, and it would probably just mess up any paintwork you had already done. I painted one Esprit to a Tobiano pinto at one point - and part of his mane was black and part of it was white - and it was so incredibly difficult to paint because of how it comes away from the neck.It may not work for Esprit, but for some of the others I might try heating the mane and then pressing it down so it didn't come off the neck as much, which should make it easier. That's less of the space in between the mane and neck you have to figure out how to paint! I also did a wedgewood esprit last year I think - but for him I just taped off the underside of his mane since it was all white, and then airbrushed as much of his neck as I could reach. It isn't perfect, but you really can't tell it doesn't reach the very top of his neck.
What is the brand and type of base coat you are using Unbleached Titanium? is it acrylic? enamel? water-base? I love the pan pastel best! they are not horribly expensive, I use heat set in my craft and it is WOW expensive and not as easy to use! I really enjoyed your videos I hope you upload so more on other color too it was awesome? thank you!
The airbrushed base coat is acrylic. I'm trying to get out as many videos as I can, but on Tutorials it takes a very long time to actually record and edit them. I do as much as I can, but I rarely have time to sit down and actually do it - I'm never home! Hoping to do a roan next, but it always depends on what horses need color next.
do you know if the paint set models need primer? i'm not sure because they're clearly meant to be painted on, but they come with acrylics, so...not sure if you can airbrush on top of them or not. thanks!
I would highly recommend priming them. I don't know that Breyer really does much to them, and you do want your paintwork to last. The primer will really help it to stay better.
You can airbrush the paint kit models, and they say that they are already primed, but I primer them anyway. They're too smooth out of the package. (Jan Griffiths).
im such a noob but i was going to make a custom horse and i don't know what seal thing to use? What brand/type should I get and will it seal over pastels AND paint? (sorry to bother omg)
I don't know for sure, it's been a few years since i painted him. From starting prep to a totally finished horse, I'd guess..... Roughly 24 hours total, over several days. Pastelling ~8-9 hours, ~3 hours airbrushing (since I do multiple at a time and have to prep/clean up that), ~2 hours prep, ~4 hours white markings, ~1 hour detailing, ~2-3 hours finishing coats. And that's just a general guess. A lot of that time is just due to drying time because pastel horses have to be sprayed so often.
It varies a lot by the type of pastels you have, and the type of sealer you use how well it will stick. Higher quality pastels have more pigment, and will take fewer layers to get the desired look, but both can work totally fine! I used cheap pastels for years before I upgraded to the PanPastels i use now. A sealer with a little "tooth" will hold the pastels better as well - and I just use Testor's Dullcote for this and it works out well (sealing between layers of course). A smoother sealer won't hold as well and will make it more difficult to get them to stick.
You could try, but I would think that using just acrylics wouldn't blend well. With a lot of patience and practice, you can do dapples with an airbrush by making tiny circles like this.
You can't get unpainted Breyers - or really most other makers really. These are ones that I've taken and prepped. So sometimes they're older beat up ones, or sometimes they're ones right out of the box - and then I do some sanding as needed, and then prime them. The primer is what makes them the solid white, and it helps the paint bond to the model. If it's not primed, its entirely possible for the paint to just peel off - I've seen it happen!
@@brittanyritenour4695 I use Rustoleum Painters Touch primer. Thats just whart i prefer and what works for me, but mainly you just need one that states it will bond to plastic. And try not to get a filler primer because you'll lose the details sculpted on your models.
These are PanPastel. Ive also used cheap chalk pastels from the hobby store, and those work fine if you're still learning and dont want to invest much. PanPastels can be expensive.
All of my paints are Liquitex. Some are soft body, some hard body, and some master's touch. Pastels are PanPastel or Earth Pigments, but I have used cheaper chalk pastels in the past and those work fine as well. You just have to scrape them into a powder.
These tutorials are always so helpful and amazing
I love your work. You are a genius!
I allways dream to made horses like breyer. I like to do scultures of horses.
I've seen this video many times( its awesome)! And I HAVE this horse!!!! exact one!! I got it from BreyerFest a few years ago at the clarion( sorry if I spelled that wrong)... fun fact: his name is Mozart!!!
That's awesome! I actually remember seeing him for sale there. That's cool that you got him!
That’s a beautiful custom (I’m totally not 3 years late)
Beautiful.
The colour is very close to my horses' colour. Great tutorial.
I love your tutorials
Cuanto no quisiera una de esas bellezas me encantan los caballos 🤗
Cool very pretty horse
love these so helpful!!!! can u do a roan? (red or blue )
Its on my list to do! Just waiting for the right model to come along.
Wild Horse Studios I just did a blue roan on the national show horse model and it suits her so well!
This is a great tutorial! Thank you! I was scouring a tutorial for a non-dapple grey dappling. Love it! Gained a subscriber :)!
So handsome, I love it what u did
OMG this is so good! breyer should hire you for an artist!

when making the dapples do you make tiny circles almost like fish scales or just swirl the pastel in a circle? sorry,new to this :)
Basically I make tiny circles like fish scales. :)

Beautiful! I need to look you up on Instagram too!
What do you use to seal him before painting, and when he is completely finished?
Primer is Rustoleum Painter's touch. Sealant between layers, and at the end is Testor's Dullcote.
THANK YOU, and finally- what Sealant do you use between the layers?
It's the same thing. More Testor's Dullcote. I end up using about 2 cans on a traditional scale horse.
Wild Horse Studios Where do you buy the dullcote? I haven't been able to find it anywhere before
Do you sell a customizing service? If so, for how much?
WOW 😍❤
Lotta Cat yes wow

(sorry to bother omg)
Most sealants will seal in everything. I use Testor's Dullcote to seal between layers of pastels, and as my final finish coats as well.
Hey! How long did this palomino take you? From start to finish?
I don't know for sure, it's been a few years since i painted him. From starting prep to a totally finished horse, I'd guess..... Roughly 24 hours total, over several days.

And that's just a general guess. A lot of that time is just due to drying time because pastel horses have to be sprayed so often.
How do you make the pastels stick so well? Mine barely take and I have to use a million layers!
It varies a lot by the type of pastels you have, and the type of sealer you use how well it will stick. Higher quality pastels have more pigment, and will take fewer layers to get the desired look, but both can work totally fine!

Wild Horse Studios thank you!
Can you do essentially the same technique(s) using acrylics?
You could try, but I would think that using just acrylics wouldn't blend well. With a lot of patience and practice, you can do dapples with an airbrush by making tiny circles like this.
where do you get the plain molds? From Breyers? The unpainted ones?
You can't get unpainted Breyers - or really most other makers really. These are ones that I've taken and prepped. So sometimes they're older beat up ones, or sometimes they're ones right out of the box - and then I do some sanding as needed, and then prime them.

@@WildHorseStudios What kind of primer do you use? I painted one in oil paint.

@@WildHorseStudios Okay! Thanks for your help! :)
@@WildHorseStudios Okay!! Thank you!! :)
What pastel do you use
These are PanPastel. Ive also used cheap chalk pastels from the hobby store, and those work fine if you're still learning and dont want to invest much. PanPastels can be expensive.
How much u want for it?
What brand of supplies do you use?
All of my paints are Liquitex. Some are soft body, some hard body, and some master's touch. Pastels are PanPastel or Earth Pigments, but I have used cheaper chalk pastels in the past and those work fine as well. You just have to scrape them into a powder.
What do you do markings and mane and tail with?
They are handpainted with many layers of watered-down acrylics.
You should work for Breyer 😅
wow O_O
