Arabian Show Halter Painting Tutorial

[Skye Valens]

By request I have made a tutorial for painting show halters like the one I made for SH Heartbreaker for the LEC Futurity show. The tutorial is available on my website here:

oldshadowhavenranch.weebly.com/arabian-halter-painting-tutorial.html

I would have posted it here on the forums but it is very image heavy and it was just easier to organize it this way. If you have any questions about the tutorial you can post them here and I will be happy to answer. I hope it is helpful to some of you

Thanks for this, Skye! You actually make it look fairly easy!

Good job Skye! You explained it perfect .
But I have one question: the blue things on your halter , what did you do with that?
It looks different then the pink ones. Im sorry I cant explain it really good

[Skye Valens]

Its explained in the tutorial near the end it was done the same way on all of the halters I just made them a different color on the tutorial one

[Manon Carrana]

No I mean it looks like it has more dept or something .

[Skye Valens]

its just the layer style, I didn't spend much time on the one I did for the tutorial. Use the bevel/emboss style and play with the settings until you get the look you want I added another bead style to the styles you can download from the tutorial page, try it and see if you like the results better. Depending on the size of your beads you still may need to modify it.

Well, I was trying to make the halter today.
This is te result on my young mare SER Sabiha!

I think when you practice more and more the results become nicer and nicer .
