First Time Painting a Model Horse...

This is the first model horse I've painted. It's cheap-ish model I like. I wanted to try to paint it. I have no idea how to do it, what paints to use or anything. I NEED HELP!!!! I'd like to paint realistically with the right paints (or pastels). I'd like any advice. Thank you!

WOW !!! Is that really your first attempt ?
...and is that really a cheap model ?

It is BEAUTYFUL !!!!

Is it a Grand Champions what you call a cheap horse? It is wonderfully painted. I believe you'll find good suggestions from the good painters of this forum but you also can find a lot of tips just browsing this section on forum. Check also tutorials!

Thank you, guys! Well, it's not cheap, it's not a Breyer or Schleich or such. I do like it. I'm just saying it isn't expensive.

Thanks again!

Your first attempt was so good, and it was a grey! Absolutely amazing.
