Title: My first attempt at a white uniform
Post by: capt.carson on 07 September 2012, 12:41:32 PM
With much trepidation I knocked this one out yesterday evening. It seems to work well with my eyesight but less so when captured digitally. lol

The uniform triad was 153 Pale Grey Blue / 4 Off White / 1 White with the belts 155 Light Grey and then the same.

You are a brave, brave man!! I don't know if I have the courage to paint a white uniform. I am currently attempting to paint a white horse...so far not my favourite work to date.

Thanks for sharing and inspiring me to continue to keep trying.
Regards,

For a great tutorial on horses you need this...

Whilst not a white, rather a grey, it's a great help. Additionally true white and true black horses are extremely rare. I believe that even the 'white' performing horses in Spain are actually greys.

Looks very good for a first attempt.  Would it be possible for you to share your technique.  While I've painted quite a few white things, it's a time consuming method and hopefully yours is faster.
