Painting Party days eleven and twelve

This weekend was busy, both for me and everyone else. Look at how much work we've done!

Kerri Gehrmann Johnson: Working on all the things. Here are the today's victims.

Lynn Cassels-Caldwell: Now we have dapples... and enter into the ugly stage!

Liv Drouillard: Doing a light grey for the first time. This is harder than I thought. Meant to be a portrait of my mare, and this model is testing my patience.

Hannah Clark: Finally started! My big guy has been in my possession since BreyerFest 2008 with the intention to repaint and I’m so excited to finally get around to it. He’s going to be a smokey black with significant gold undertones so he got a rich gold acrylic base coat. 

Priscilla Andrews: This one is done.

Marta Flisiak: After days of sculpting, I put on his base color. Hopefully I'll add pastels tomorrow.

Christine Lewis: A few layers of Earth Pigments. Getting darker.

Emme Grace: She actually has a head now. Woo hoo!

Kim Szkudlarek: Three layers of pigment down before going back in with acrylic washes.

Jack Stroud: Didn't get much done today as it was my twelve year anniversary! I did get a couple of details done - my biggest obstacle is England's lack of daylight!!

Beth Peart Weekes: Better photos coming before the end of the month, but he is essentially done.

Heather Davis: Primer, finally!

Georgia Stone: I'm trying to finish a group of bays that I started last month. I've recently discovered that I enjoy working on two or three at a time. It keeps me from hyper focusing or getting derailed because something isn't turning out perfectly and quickly. I also enjoy watching them shift subtlety as I use different concepts here and there.
For these two bays, the color mix is the same (painted at the same time, from the same pallette) but have slight differences. The Showman I kept a bit more reddish with clipped/sooty dapples, and the Twinkie I pushed more toward a rich purplish mahogany with more natural bloom dapples. (I did this with a thin, dry brush glaze of a violet tone + burnt umber + pearl ex pigment!) 

Amy Clark: Trying to trust the process but we're definitely in the ugly stage.

Audrey Dixon: Trying to trust the process but we're definitely in the ugly stage.

Jenn Constantine: Almost done! Golden plovers.

Jill Webb: Might not look much different than yesterday, but another layer of dapples and a layer and mane and tail and details. Three 12-hour shifts coming up so eyes and hooves will wait until a day off. Most of the others got a layer too.

Christine Sutcliffe: I haven’t been as motivated this year for some reason - lots of ideas but no main model as I usually do. Not because of the new format btw, that’s great, it’s more of a me issue this time round. That said I have been working on a few micros and a Schleich this week!
