  • These videos help a lot. Thanks.

  • please make part two and part 4 and 5 please not to be rude but please i love your horse so far!

  • when is part 4 coming out i cant wait!!!!!

  • I have the same pastels you have, could you pastel over a painted horse? (like you have a breyer that came white, but wnt to pastel it differently, could you do that?) thnx!

  • @krazybreyergal369 I've never tried that but it might work as long as you spray matte finish on the horse before you start pastelling. I wouldn't do it though since the pastels might be more likely to chip with out a primer base coat.

  • What type of clay would u use to add mane or a better tail

  • after your coat of pastels, what to you spray it with????

  • this is a really amazing video

  • How do you do the mane and tail?

  • What exactly do you use to paint the horse? you have special brush to apply the stuff?

  • Chalk is also good for the paint if you want to play with the horse? and it is water resistant or must do something about it mannoch that holds it?

  • When is part 4?

    I love your customizing videos:-)

  • How long do you have to let the sealer dry between layers of pastels?

  • @hillbillyhoodoo The can says the dry time is 10-15 minutes and the handle time is 2 hours. I usually only wait 15 minutes but 2 hours would probably be best.

  • hey what if your trying to fix a breyer that has skratches on it would it still work

  • @girlproskater123 You can use sandpaper to sand the scratches down. If they're really deep you may need to fill them with Apoxie Sculpt.

  • I WANT PART 4 TOO!

  • I have a classic paint that I want to color a differnt color, because I dont like it. I want to make it tan with white patches. How do I do that?

  • Would chalk work too?

  • @Breyerhorserider I haven't tried chalk but I'm not sure if the pigment would be strong enough for it to work.

  • The pastels will only stick after so much dust. Try spraying another layer of matte finish and see if it sticks better.

  • Hi! I'm using hard pastels, and it seems to not want to stick to the model. How do you get it to stay on while you're working on that layer?

  • @FilmerOfBobcats Are you spraying your model?

  • say that i want to do a palamino, [sorry if its not spelled right] how would i do that? do i paint it like you did with really light cream colors or do i use yellowish colors?

  • @1horseylover4 I use creams and yellows. My chestnut tutorial might help you out with this color.

  • do you know any other sealer sprays? ive tryed yet another custom and the color isnt working, its speckled and looks nothing like yours :( i feel like i should give up pasteling all together. maybe i can make a vid of them and make a video responce so you can see them

  • @terriertimetoo Are you using Krylon matte finish? You may not be spraying enough, I'm not really sure what could cause that. Another spray I've heard of people using is Testors dull Coat.

  • @SaturnineStudios yes im using kylon matte finish, and i dont think im spraying anyless then you were in the vid. I have heard of the Testors dull coat but i dont know where to find it. This is all frustrating because it seems to work for everyone else and no one can figure out my problem, but i will try to find a different spray. Thanks

  • I'm ready to paint, but when I try to make the pastel into powder, it just clumps together on the scissors. Do you have any tips to make it into powder? I love these videos by the way :)

  • @jumper649 It sounds like you might have oil pastels which won't work. Are your pastels more like chalk or a crayon?

  • @SaturnineStudios You're right, they were oil pastels so I went and bought the other kind and they work great. Thanks :)

  • Where is the Krylon matte finish sold?

  • @myHORSEecho I bought mine from wal-mart.

  • On the 1st layer, do u do the main and tail?

  • cant wait till pt. 4. i have never been able to do a bay horse so thanks so far on the tutorials.

  • where is part 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • wait where is the rest!? please finish it

  • wheres pt.4?!?!?!?!?

  • pastel seems to look very natural..good work..!

  • Where did you get you're blank model at???

  • Where did you get your blank model?

  • how long do you let the Kyron matte finish dry before you put on an other layer of pastels?

  • Thank you for this vid!!!! it will help me for customizing a dapple grey qh even though ur not doing one=). I ordered a beat up zippo pine bar because i love that mold and it will hopefully turn out to be a nice western pleasure dapple grey. I took the grey colors after my own wp qh named jake. One of my dreams is to have Jake made into a breyer moldel but i dout that =) one more thing do you think Michael's craft store will have pastels and primer? thank you!!

  • what mold is the reference pony in??

  • I spray it with Krylon matte finish.

  • do you spray it with the crystal clear when your all done?

  • @kyrasage1 I usually spray it with the matte finish, the crystal clear is a bit more glossy. If you want your model glossy it works.

  • 6:05  You sound like my mum!

  • Where can you but matte finish and white primer online?

    You are so good at pasteling :)

  • @horseit100 I'm sure most art supply sites carry it. Dick Blick should have it.

  • I have just started pasteling and it is coming out really spotty, like the pastel isn't getting into the pores or something. Do you know how to fix it? Do I need to sand more or just put a few layers of prime on it to even it out some?

  • This is soo helpful!!!

  • that was so amazing!! how can u do all of tht? u have talent girl. can u also do a grey/white the same coat as Blanco? u know the horse who played um Shadowfax in the lord of the rings. i am a huge fan of Shadowfax. man u are so good. better than me. i bet u did really good, amazing realistic like appaloosas models. u are so amazing. i really love ur art work.

  • Wheres pt.4??

  • Hey!

    Im painting small horses that i dont need...

    Im going to buy acrylic colours.

    I cant find chalk pastels so... can i use acrylics and make a horse like painted model horses?

  • @RODOULA7 I've painted horses in acrylics and they work fine.

  • After the first layer what do you spray it with? What type of pastels are those? And I hope part 4 is coming soon! You are doing really good!

  • What is the spray called

  • where do you buy the models, I live in Sweden, do you know if they are here?

  • ehem.... part 4?

  • do you brush the whole body with the same colour for all the coats?

  • Just saying where is part 4???

  • do you ever need to w ash your brushes between customs? mine always get really dark, and when you try to do the light base coat it comes out a muddy brownish color.

    thanks

  • never mind painting how do you make the model!!?? i made one with modeling clay once :)

  • Where's part 4? I really needed this tutorial! D=

  • I have a question: What spray did you use for every layer? Was it the matte finish?

  • @moosefan777 Yup! Krylon Matte Finish

  • Ihave that stuff! im a beginer at this stuff and i want to know more about apoxying...

  • Thanks

    

  • That is amazing! But i have a question, I'm getting 5 new stablemates soon, and i have ordered one in particular that I absolutely ADORE! i love him so much, and I would like to customize him to something great...er. I only have regular acrylic paint to work with and a series of brushes so they are not a problem. So basically what I'm asking is: Could you please make a tutorial on how to make a great custom using acrylics and brushes without all the fancy tools? :S Please and thank you!

  • @BreyerBay300 I don't have time to do tutorials anymore but I can give you some advice. Like with pastels always start from darkest to lightest in layers. Acrylics tend to be thick and can cause brushstrokes. If you water the paint down and do multiple coats you can help eliminate brush strokes. Acrylics also dry fairly quickly and watering them down will give you a little bit more working time. Good luck!

  • Where do you get Pastels? Because i want to see if i get money from Christmas this year so i can make or in other words Customize a horse i`ll TRY to mold =) i`ve never customized a horse before could you give me some pointers?

  • @Rhettlover1083 You can get pastels and almost any craft store. If you don't find them, go on ebay!

  • @reptilesnfoods I've never done anything other than repaint a Schleich but I'd imagine repositioning would be difficult because of the hair pattern. For paint horses I pastel the color and then later use white acrylic paint and a brush to make the white markings.

  • where is pat 4?

    

  • i dont think I'll need a reframce because for my best friend, im making a rainbow horse... :)

  • Hi!

    I'd like to know what kind of fixative do you use and if you know if this fixative would work on poliurethan resin (of BJD dolls)

  • @RabiruchiLess I use Krylon Matte Finish. I've sprayed it on numerous types of resins and its worked fine. I'd spray a small test on a non visible part to see if there's any reactions.

  • @SaturnineStudios I'm used to use Mr Super Clear flat (MSC) and it's a quite sensible finishing. If you touch it too much it will fade off with the color (mainly if your hands are sweaty) . Does it happens with Krulon Matte Finish? I'm pretty interested in a more durable finishing for my BJD dolls.

  • @RabiruchiLess I've never had the Krylon come off, even when I wipe it with a moist rag to clean off dust. Just don't scrub too hard and it should be fine.

  • would you pastel the mane?

  • @Sweethorsestudios1 I usually paint by brush the base coat of the mane and then do a few layers of pastels.

  • HI

    I HAVE A QUESTION

    IS IT EASIER TO MAKE A PALOMINO FOR YOUR FIRST PASTELING THING OR IS IT EASIE TO DO A BAY OR CHESTNUT??? I REALLY WANT TO DO A EASY COLOUR FIRST SO PLEASE HELP.

  • @5011barbara All three of those are fine to start with. Palomino though will take the least number of layers and bay will take the most.

  • @SaturnineStudios thanks!!! could you maybe make a video of what colours to put on and in what order??? please help.

  • I lovo you for that hier!! I wil trae it!!:D

    I love it!!!

    How can i boy pastel??

  • Comment removed

  • what tips do people have when painting scheilch horses i have the 2004 dapple grey welsh pony and i am planning on painting him dun anyone have tips on dun horses? it would be useful :)

  • thanks o am painting a peterstone horse

  • what is a horse in white primer??? do you need a horse in white primer to pastel?? and what is priming??

  • do you have to put fixative in between each layer.

  • @amybuggy1 Yes. The surface of the horse can only take so much color at a time.

  • how old are you good gob

  • Super Breyers!

  • do you hav part 5

  • Can u costumize me a bay?? If u give me your email, i will send u a picture on what i want it 2 look like :)

  • i will be doing my first custom and have all the supplies! but i have a VERY important question! since i am priming and holding from the tail, at what point do I prime that and do that? or do I use acrylic paint instead of pastels?

  • I would just like to throw in that you need a matte fixative to seal in the pastels if you are doing another layer. Gloss doesnt provide any tooth for the pastel to grab on =)

  • THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

  • this is a great tuturial!

  • where do you get your supplies at and how much do they cost? and what brands do you use? sorry if you said it in the video,i don't have speakers right now.

  • do you have to use the krylon crystal clear or can i just use the matte finish???

    and where is part 4?? have you not made it yet??? or if you did can you tell me were to look

    thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ^_^

  • @supdood2 you can just use matte, that's what I did for years. I'm trying to see if the Crystal clear makes a difference but I've only used it on one horse so far.

  • A couple layers of Krylon matte finish will help seal the horse with a thick layer of protection. The you can gloss it with either Krylon Crystal Clear or another higher gloss finish.

  • How do you gloss a horse. I really need help with that. And also what do you spray on the horse to prevent it from getting the paint rubbed off so easily??

  • you dont know how much i appreciate this "series"! this is so helpful and so informative! thank you thank you thank you!

  • I am going to be customizing a stablemate to a palomino. But I don't know what color of pastels to use. What would you recommend?

  • @horsesandathena For palominos I start with cream then add yellow and a bit of red or brown.

  • @SaturnineStudios Ok thank you!

  • @SuperBreyerHorses Krylon matte finish

  • how to make the white model horses? really cool

  • you dont need to prime the tail where you where holding it?

  • @zumbug333 I usually finish the entire horse, then cover it and prime and paint the tail later.

  • i love the horse that you used for a reference!!! VERY CUTE!!! how long does it take to pastel a horse until it looks like the reference horse?!?!?! like 2 to 4 days??

  • when you use the pastels is it easier or more difficult for hoof and ear rubs to occur?

  • @TheIvoryhorse Its probably the same as any other painting method, though pastels tend to chip rather than rub.

  • instaed of Crystal Clear can I use Crystal Glaze? Or do we HAVE to use it at all?

  • @RandomDreamer2 I'm not sure what crystal glaze is but just using the matte finish and not the crystal clear is fine.

  • @SaturnineStudios the crystal galze is made by the same brand that the matte finish you are using is. All it is is a clear finishing glaze that makes it shiny

  • where do u get the plain white horses from? O

    r do you just paint over the old one.

  • @TheHorseluv Its a regular horse sprayed with white primer.

  • Is there any chance you could do a tutorial on how to reposition breyers?

  • @HorseyHappenings I'd like to someday but I want to get better at repositioning before I make a tutorial on it.

  • I am going to be creating a leopard Appaloosa using acrylic paint. What spray would I use to seal in the paint when I'm done so the paint dousn't rub off?

  • @cammarkgross Krylon matte finish is usually what I use.

  • Where's the part 4? :(

  • Hey! This helps a lot Do you have to know a lot about real horses to do this because I love horses just don't no every fact lol! Oh and have you made any videos on how to make an appy? (appaloosa)

  • @chillycat12 Having knowledge on horses always helps so you know what colors certain breeds have. I don't have any appy videos unfortunately, I've only painted an appy once and will make a video when I get more practice.

  • @HorseKrazy4ever Yeah, when I've finished pastelling the horse's body I cover it in saran wrap except for the tail, prime the tail and then paint or pastel it separately.

  • @SaturnineStudios Why not just put the horse down after pasteling it and spray the part you held? I would think it would be easier. Hah, I've always done that.

  • wats the spray u used????? and wat are some kind of the spray like names?

    u spray between evrey patsel layer?

  • @6horsesrock6 The spray is Krylon Matte Finish, you spray it between every layer.

  • do oil pastels work with repainting a model (breyer) horse

  • @nickybicky34 No, I've tried. They don't shave into a powder and are too oily.

  • @SaturnineStudios ok thx i just wanted to know because i have a load of oil pastels! but no normal ones! just wondering are soft pastels the same as wat u use on a model horse??

  • I like the buckskin look at the end! :D

  • thanks this halps ALOT!!!

  • I just got all of my supplies today and my dad and I just finished putting primer on my first one, which isn't a Breyer just for safe measures

  • I love this custom! :D Just wondering, when you primed the model, you left the black bit of his tail where you were holding him. Since you were doing a bay did you leave it black because the mane & tail will be black? Thanks. If I primed a black horse, to be chestnut, would I have to prime the bit where I hold it to if the tail & mane were to be chestnut? Sorry if I don't make much sense. :P Also, I know it's been like 2 years since this was uploaded... but are you gonna do part 4 and 5? Thanks.

  • what do u spray between every layer, you just said spray, is it like a clear coat?

  • Its Krylon Matte finish, a type of clear coat that isn't glossy and smooth so that pastels stick to it.

  • Where'd you get the horse model??

  • I think it was from one of the Walmart mustangs sets.

  • Thank you very much.

  • its better if u use q-tips because u can press the color in more and u dont hav 2 shave of the dust. just rub it off with the q-tip

  • wow, thanks! I've been wanting to do a custom model since summer, I tried once with paint but the streaky finish discouraged me, but this technique looks good :) i'm definitely going to try this soon (:

  • After you did the first layer of pasteling is it matte finish you spray? And you do that after every layer? Thanks. :) Also, how long does the spray take to dry before you put the next layer on? Thanks. :D

  • Yup, you spray the matte between every single layer. I wait about 15 minutes after spraying before starting the next layer of pastels.

  • Okay, thanks. :D

  • Thanks, I went to your site, and looked at your stuff, great job, One question though,

    When you are finished, do they still feel like a Bryer, or do they have like rubbery finish?

    And thanks, in the spring I'm gonna use this method to paint my old Roy Rogers, Trigger model. He is horribly worn and has seams all over the place!

  • They don't feel rubbery, just the same as a regular Breyer. =)

  • OK thanks, I have 4 olf I think 1984 Breyers, they aren't in boxes, so they have horrible seams, and the color faded. I will post a video response when they are finished ;-)

  • part 4? I need it!

  • wheres part four? BY the way good video.

  • Oooo!!

    I am SO doing this!

    I have a question

    I have a buckskin pony I want to model. He's a light buckskin though and in his lightest spots are white. Should I still brush the white on or just skip that?

  • r those just pastels and what is that stuff that u spray outside plz comment back

  • They're chalk pastels, not the oil kind. The spray I use between the layers is called Krylon matte finish.

  • what store do u find them at

  • @SaturnineStudios where do you find krylon? thx

  • I get mine at Micheals craft stores.

  • @SaturnineStudios thx!!!

  • when will you make pt.4? i'm waiting! haha jk

    really cute horse and nice job on him forelock!

    where did you get the molding stuff?

  • will oil pastels work?

  • No, they have to be the chalk kind. Oil pastels are too oily and chunky.

  • the makeup applicants that you are talking about are for eye shadow

  • have you made a part 4???

  • where is part 4?

  • I'm now just making tutorials for different colors, so far I've done chestnut.

  • thanks! This was a very helping video! i'm gonna try it!:D

  • do you have to use pastels or can you use paints?

  • You can use paints too, this tutorial is on how to paint with pastels though.

  • oh and what do u do if u want it to be a white horse with detaile?

  • I usually add pastel white horses with a white/gray mixture and then darken specific areas with gray.

  • ok thank alot!

  • can u get pastels at dollarama's lol! feels foolish to ask but i just want to know:

  • how do you make the pastel dust? please answer in a video response...
