Step 1.75 Bays and Greys. . .


A wider shot of all 36 Minden dragoon mounts where you can observe the darker brown manes and tails I've added to a few of the Chestnuts as well as the Bays and Greys in the front row.


Plugging away, as and when I am able, with the current herd of 1/56th horses, which are shaping up reasonably well I think.  Next up, white markings on the muzzles and ankles.  A fairly easy step.  I'm calling the three greys done.  They look pretty good, so why risk messing things up by continuing to to tinker with them?  Sometimes, you've gotta say when and move on.

By the way, anyone out there have any idea how to ensure that one's photos actually show up larger when people click on them?  The recent revamping by Blogger has made that particular feature less readily accessible than used to be the case prior to several days ago.  How in the world are any interested visitors supposed to enlarge the photographs now?

And the obligatory closer in shot of the front row.  I'm pleased with the how the greys, in particular, are shaping up.  Lots of dry stippling and acrylic washes using Liquitex Flow Aid.

Looking good Stokes, Ive always had difficulty with greys and they always look clumsy. So well done.
Like the greys..

Pictures - load the picture into the post, click on it, select "X-Large" (which on mine fits the viewing window)- job done..
Thank you, gentlemen!

Best Regards,

Stokes

Horse coming along nicely.

I usually have photos on my Blog sized appropriately and allow user to be able double click each photo to view on its own rather than use 'Lightbox'. This can be changed by going to Blog Settings, go to 'Post, Comments and Sharing', under Posts change 'Showcase Images with Lightbox' to NO.
