This is one of the mini Marwari resins I painted for BreyerFest 2017. The BreyerFest guest horse that year was a Marwari, and I was excited to paint a model of this unique and unusual breed.
The resin is by Sarah Rose; she sculpted and released the Mini Marwari resin back in 2013. The model is stablemate-scale, approximately 3.5" long/tall.
I painted him in acrylics to a striking dark bay and white tobiano pinto, first by airbrushing the base coat and shading, then hand painting all of the tiny details: hoof stripes, dappling, veining, shading, hair details around white markings, a pink nose, and one blue eye and one brown eye. Finally I sealed him with satin varnish to protect his finish.
