My first time trying oil painting in a very long time! I got all the supplies and am anxiously awaiting the start of February 3.
I have to admit I felt a little sick to my stomach before it started, because my past experience was with oil paints in Kansas heat and humidity that never - and I mean never - dried. I threw that model away after a year because it was sticky/tacky.
SO with that in mind, I started the first class with a bit of trepidation, but it ended up being okay. This quick dry oil paint was amazing and Heather was instructive and helpful.

Week 2 was adding black mixed with interference blue pearl ex and black mixed with supper copper pearl ex for tones and shading.

On February 17, week 3 of the painting class, we started adding white markings. I was terrified but started the Appaloosa Pattern and I am so so very happy with how my boy is turning out!

Now for the final night on the 28th doing manes/tails and finishing up.
AND I DID IT!!! I managed to get him completed before the end of the month!!! (Well right at the end) 11 PM mountain time he was done!!
