A complete tutorial with all the tools and color recipes needed to paint a leopard appaloosa on a Breyer, Schleich, CollectA, artist resin or other brand of model horse. Color RecipesThese color recipes are a guide to help you replicate what I created for the video, and take out the guesswork in mixing paint for model horses. It's not full-proof, as every brand of paint is a little different and everyone sees color differently, but it will help give you a leg up in the process that you can refine to your taste as you develop your skills. In the video I am using Golden brand acrylics in Fluid and Heavy Body. Feel free to use the same, or to find the below named colors in other brands. Bear in mind that the more you change from the tutorial, the more likely you will get a different result. Pearl Whitethe very first layer and the base for everything else. In the video I airbrushed this layer, but you can thin it down and apply thin washes to build up the color if you are painting it by hand. An airbrush is faster and easier, but absolutely not required to follow along with this tutorial. Mix the following colors of paint:
Warm Pearl WhiteThe color used to give your model depth and realism. Mix:
Cool Pearl WhiteThe color used for shading. Mix:
Medium GreyIf you are painting dark to light spots as I have down in the video, this is your first color for the spots. Mix:
If you are painting lighter to darker spots instead, add more white until the grey matches the lightest part of the spots in your reference. Warm BlackThe color you will use for the darkest centers of your spots. Mix:
Mottling Base ColorTo follow along with the method I showed in the video, mix:
If you are opting to paint the pink layers of the mottling instead of using the earth pigments, then mix a tiny bit of Burnt Sienna with a larger portion of Titan Buff to taste. Tools & Supplies You Will Need
