Andalusian Mare

Dappled Buckskin Andalusian Mare

This mare was an adventure from start to finish! First of all, dapples take days, which is great for building patience. Second of all, I pastel over a soft, old towel, which is there to catch the dust but also, unfortunately, catches the dust. She got a few black smudges on her wonderful gold coat, which led to a few oddly colored patches as I tried to touch them up. The gist of a decent buckskin is there though – you gotta start somewhere! This is one of my favorite horse colors, and I plan to get really good at it someday. Baby steps.
