Golden Joy Horse Christmas Ornament
This is the second in the series of Christmas horse ornaments I am doing for my wife. Two more to come. I'm doing them in unnatural colors. For this one I chose metalics but with a realistic color pattern. The bulk of the body is white with shading done in gray. The gold parts are originally painted with GW Tin Bitz highlighted with a mix of Vallejo Gold and GW Burnished gold. the tail, mane and "knees" were left deliberately darker as this is based on a horse that was brown, black and white. For the hooves I painted them first Vallejo Salmon Pink then glazed over them with Vallejo gold. The eyes are green, which is an unnatural color but looks good on the gold. The pupils are horizontal slits like real horse eyes. Before you say it's too glossy, I covered it in 3-4 coats of glossy varnish because my wife likes shiny things. The horse stands roughly 3 inches tall. I hope you enjoy something out of the ordinary.
