How I Speed paint my Brown Horses.

Just a guide on how I paint brown horses. Thought I’d share it with the group and hopefully it might help a few people.
Sorry for the poor lighting and sound. I was just going to scrap the whole thing but as a few people have asked me to do this video and it took such a long time to do I decided to put it out there.

Thanks Leon. I got some useful tips for next time i do some 🐎. :) I've added this video to my favourite list for future reference 😀

Thanks Martin. I guess you’re like me and hate painting bloody horses 😂

[@GDWargames]

@@leont66wargaming31 definitely i currently do less than you. I paint brown. Black leather work. Dark brown tail etc. Then a agrax earthshade wash and there done. 😆

Yep I like the sound of that 😂

Nice guide, I like using Chocolate as a dark brown base.

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks buddy. Yes I need to get some chocolate brown

[@hangarflying]

Oi! Oi! Finally a horse tutorial using paints that I already own! 😂

[@leont66wargaming31]

Lol. Yep that’s what I think when I watch tutorials, it’s no use to me if I don’t have the paints lol.

[@BitesizeWargaming]

Same - lol!

[@regwirth3004]

Very good horses turned out nice. Try painting the tips of the ears, eye lids, and top of the nostrils with just bit of your high light color.

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks Reg, I like that idea. I’ll do that in the morning. Cheers mate

[@gunner678]

The blaze, the star, the snip, and the bald face, always useful to remember when painting a variety of horse faces. I really enjoyed that video. Very relaxing and informative.

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks Matt. I feel I need to add that info now lol.

@@leont66wargaming31 lol indeed, it follows the general principle of content over form lol.

Lol

[@chriswareing1991]

nothing wrong with it mate can see it fine and what you are doing, very good video and good way of showing people.

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks Chris

[@worldhistoryminiatureshous9757]

Always welcomed this kind of tutorial . Very interesting video . Personnally I like to paint the " white socks " before the wash to save one step . Was a pleasure watch your video .

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks buddy. I might give that a try in the next ones.

[@trimontiumhobbies1886]

Superb video man, i didnt see or hear any problems what so ever, I'm glad you didn't bin it off...

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks buddy. It was close to being binned. I think the riders video might be worse lol.

[@kevingallagher2366]

Great video leon tip on horses do keep your own style is that the best because I tryed different ways on you tube to many painting different ways and it seems not to work keep coming back to your style

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks Kev. Glad my way is working for you. I try to keep it as easy as possible.

[@rebelsandredcoats265]

Good work thank you for this information on speed painting I've actually done few horses in washes different tone washes I'll get a video up on it. As ever great work Leon 👍

Well damn. I have to get some yellow ochre. They look great, Leon. Saving the vid. ~K

Thanks buddy. Yep I use yellow ochre quite a lot.

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks for watching and the sun buddy. Much appreciated 😊

[@BrushQuill]

Nice guide Leon, and I didn't hear the phrase contrast paint until the end! Not sure if I will ever enjoy Cav but guides like this makes it bareable!

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks Cal. I actually painted it in bits and pieces between other things

Excellent! I've always found trying to pain horses intimidating. I have some 1/72 WW2 Cossacks that I need to get to eventually.

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks buddy. Hopefully it’ll help you out

[@pbeccas]

I did it!!! That was good Leon,the video was fine. Got some good tips regarding the markings.

[@leont66wargaming31]

Haha nice one mate. I’ll make more long ones in future lol

[@inthetrencheswithcas1762]

Mate your video was fine thanks for making this mate I will check out the rest of your channel... Why is it Cavalry look the best on the table but no one likes painting them...

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks buddy. Hahaha yes that is the question. A necessary evil

[@maryhinge6334]

Great stuff mate. Works really well. 👍

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks buddy. I’ve got my Salute tickets now

[@maryhinge6334]

Cool. Was thinking I probably will go so hopefully catch you there. I take it you’re back to full health now?

[@leont66wargaming31]

Nice. I’ll maybe do a Salute meet up video nearer the time. Still not quite back to normal yet. I hope I will be by the time salute happens lol. If not I’ll just have to keep going for a sit down and a rest every now and then.

[@maryhinge6334]

Pubs are a great place for a sit down. 😉😂

[@leont66wargaming31]

😂 I like your thinking

Nice tutorial Leon. Wonderful work.

[@malcolmrose3361]

Very good stuff, Leon. Have you thought about dry brushing a little pale pink around their mouths?

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks Malcolm. I save that for the grey/whites. Coming soon lol

[@BitesizeWargaming]

Great stuff Leon - a few good idea I'll deffo file away there! That reminds me...I need some flat earth (mine's run out!). You're another one that uses make-up brushes for drybrushing...going to have to give that a try. As a married man with three daughters, I may have one I can steal somewhere...

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks Simon. Yep I borrowed that one from my ex wife lol.

[@gkspain1]

Very nice Leon, hadn't seen the orange brown by Vallejo which I will have to get, all the best, Garry

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks mate. I find the orange brown useful for highlighting brown hair as well

[@gunner678]

Hurumph Hurumph terrible production quality lol. Come on Leon, we just want to see your excellent painting skills. Content over form every time. As ever, fast or not, you have done a superb job! I might try sticking the cavalry figure on first myself. Seems like a good idea.

[@leont66wargaming31]

Thanks Matt. I don’t always glue the figures on first. It all depends on the riders details. Like for Hussars I’d paint them separately

[@gunner678]

@@leont66wargaming31 I see what you mean. Do you use super glue, super glue and baking powder or solder?

[@leont66wargaming31]

I use super glue on metals, these are plastic so I use Revell poly cement. Although I’ve messed up on one of the riders and glued something on wrong. If I’d of used superglue I could of prised it off, not so with poly cement lol. I’ll show my mistake in the next video lol

@@leont66wargaming31 ok

[@GP_uniquehandlefail]

Thanks for this, I found it really useful as I normally just use contrast paints and highlight some white socks or blazes on my horses, but you have inspired me to go back and add in more variations to the others as well.

[@leont66wargaming31]

Glad you found it helpful. I’d probably use contrast paints if I had them as well.

Nice metod. And how you paint skeletons horses, white white and white..

Lol. Haha yep pretty much. I’ve got a tutorial on painting skeletons, so I’d paint their horses the same way

Добрый день. Было бы интересно посмотреть как вы расписываете лошадь белой масти. Заранее спасибо.

I was going to do this as the next video. But unfortunately something went wrong and the footage got corrupted. I will try again the next time I paint some cavalry
