One of my reasons for starting this blog, was because it seemed like it would be a great way of sharing knowledge. I decided that it would be fun to start off with a simple tutorial on prepping a model to paint and then painting it in oils. There are a lot of tutorials about pasteling but you see very few on oil painting. I feel that this format for a tutorial, is a lot better then something like You Tube because it is easily accessible by people with old slow computers, or by people on dial-ups. If you've ever tried to watch any thing on You Tube with a dial-up, then you will understand what I am talking about. It doesn't work very well. Sometimes it doesn't work at all.
Shortly, in the next few days, I will make the first post in the tutorial series. That post will consist of the list of supplies that will be needed, to complete a model horse, in oil paints, from start to finish. The demonstration model will probably be a Breyer, stablemate. At the end of the tutorial, the demonstration model will be given away to a Blog reader. I thought that if anybody works along with me, it would be fun to have everybody who participates, send in photos of what they created, so that we can all see how they turned out.
So check in again, for the first installment in the oil painting tutorial.

Please continue with this tutorial! I am thinking of taking up repainting Breyers with oils but I don't know where to begin. As you said, tutorials on oils are hard to find, but from what I've seen oil customs just turn out so much more realistic than airbrush or pastel.
