Dorotea's repainted horses

Lovely   

Just curious, I'm considering purchasing a two-part clay to work with on Breyers, how do you like the Apoxie Sculpt?

Nice again

Well, I'm also relatively new to it, but so far so good.
It forms nicely using wet fingers or (as I do) a toothpick. Thin parts can be easily snaped, but - it's clay, so you can't expect miracles.
I'm really happy with it overall, clean and fast solution for modeling...

Thank you! Some people have mentioned this brand being sticky, so I'm debating on getting this one, which is a bit cheaper, or Magic Sculpt, which I have yet to hear a bad thing about, but s a little more expensive.

It is sticky when being modelled, but as I said, just have a little cup of water to put your fingers in and the "problem" is solved

One more homozygous pearl and another WIP

The pearl is stunning!

That is amazing !!! How do you do that ????   

Fantastic about that pearl-gene ! I never heard about it in European breeds before, but it seems they think it stems from Iberian horses   
Hard to trace when it is reccesive, but with the enormous development in gene-determination science, it should be true.
I wonder if the metallic sheen in Akhal Tekes are due to the same gen...well, perhaps they already looked into that   

Thank you

The upper pearl horse is something between these two (pictures not mine):

First one is a quarter horse, where pearl is often referred to as the Barlink factor.
Second is a PRE.
My horse should, I guess, have dark tan eyes, but let's say he has some additional modifiers that are causing light eyes - green in his case. There is also a bit of characteristic pearl dappling, it's not very visible  

One of the sites/forums about horse color genetics I like checking is here:

Beautiful

WOW! The colour of that Arabian mare    

And I love the tack, too ! Lucky camels    

Beautifull new colors!
I Really like the out of the box thinking you do with the colors.
It makes every horse uniek!
The mare is nicely shaded

The tack is really nice and colorfull. it make the whole picture so ''happy and live like''

I searched the whole topic and I can say, your work is absolutely beautiful! After you got some Apoxie the horses changed a lot and I like it! Very nice manes and tails!
I also noticed you can do many different, unusual colors. I just love them all  Great work!  

Thank you

I've decided to make one representative of every lipizzan stallion line,
similar to the "original" stallion they descended from.
The lines are:
Pluto, Maestoso, Conversano, Neapolitano, Favory, Siglavy, Tulipan, Incitato
To follow the naming convention, I will also add one of the classical mare line names to a horse name.

These are the horses so far (1st two you already know ):
Pluto Teodora
(Pluto - was a Frederiksborg stallion, assumed white with spots)
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Siglavy Allegra
(Siglavy - was a egyptian arab stallion)
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Depending on how the names fit - this one will be
Conversano Capriola or  
Tulipan Slavonia
(Conversano - was a black neapolitan stallion)
(Tulipan - croatian stallion line that often results in dark horses; btw. Slavoni(j)a is the name of the region I come from)
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Maestoso Musica
(Maestoso - gray bohemian Kladrub stalion)
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Incitato Europa
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

still miss a Favory, Neapolitano and a Tulipan...

That dapple grey! I love that one!

I love it too! Your work is so beautiful  Love them all!

Me too       

Favory Virtuosa and Maestoso Adria
(Favory was a dun(?) stallion from Kladrub - maybe cream?, so buckskin - I've made a buckskin ->
I've never heard of dun in lipizzans, but there existed a buckskin lipizzan stallion
689 Neapolitano Ira in Lipik stud, Croatia some decades ago)

Maestoso Adria is a barockish rose gray, role model was this horse [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
