Custom Breyer Horse- Cherry Bay

This lovely guy now belongs to Kaitlyn in Michigan! Kaitlyn requested I paint a cherry bay with a snip and 4 white socks. His coloring was modeled after this horse. Enjoy!

His details include: Hoof striping, painted horseshoes, and 4 layers of shading in airbrushed acrylics. Want your own model? Please feel free to contact me!

Red Roan Appaloosa Custom Breyer Horse

LOVE how this guy came out. I am not sure what his name is, but to me it looks like it should be "Wildfire" or something like that :-) He belongs to Julia in Georgia.

He is painted on the Mon Gamin Breyer model. His body was airbrushed in acrylic and all his details/spots are painted by hand. :-)

Here's a little horse painting secret- To get the vibrant red brown I use Liquitex Basics "Red Oxide".

I also painted horseshoes on this guy, he's such a stud! Well-- a gelding *wink*

Custom Breyer Horse: Meet Sonny

Sonny belongs to Katie in New Jersey. He is a beautiful Red Dun!

This is the second model I did for Katie, the last one I did for her was a pretty dapple grey.

This model was airbrushed, I carved out his hooves and ears, sanded his logo and heavy seams, and added boyparts to make him a gelding.

Meet Bling- Custom Breyer Foal

Bling is the offspring of Mystic and Chic (His grandfather is Smart Chic Olena). Isn't he handsome? I also had the pleasure of doing two models of his dad Chic, and a model of his mother Mystic to complete the custom breyer set. I loved painting this little foal!

Bling's mother, Mystic:

Bling's father, Chic:

Meet Jack

This gorgeous appaloosa belongs in Rachael in Maryland. I had alot of fun with this guy. It was definitely a challenge to try placing all the spots according to the body movement of the model.
I can't tell you enough how thankful I am for my airbrush gun! The time it saves me in painting the initial basecoat of the model was well worth the investment.
