Well, honestly the Lady Phase is just too much work for a first timer. She’s since had an additional coat, but I’m to lazy to continue with her. Not turning out the way I wanted, got dark too fast (looks like a weird buckskin right now) so I turned to a stablemate jumper. I’m on coat, um… 7? and he’s turning out far better than expected. Unfortunately he was originally a leopard appaloosa (OF) and the black spots were impossible to primer over, so he’s not showable. But, he is going to be an excellent first attempt (and finished) so he will stay around here for the rest of his life as a reminder of how I started out. As soon as the pastels are done with him, I will post a photo and then somehow start on the details (I dread that part, never been good with a paint brush).
