Portrait Horse: Sierra

Posted on August 2, 2010December 13, 2018 by Martha Bechtel
Sierra

Make: Breyer
Scale: Stablemate
Mold: Morgan (G2)
Color: Bay Tobiano
Gallery: Tobiano
Medium: Acrylics
Status: Painted 200? and Sold 200?

This was a custom ordered portrait horse, one of the few I’ve done. I’ve always been very nervous about doing portraits since I know it’s very easy for folks to pick out the flaws in the patterns. Sort of like the uncanny valley folks fall into when they look at portraits of themselves, or people they know. They never match quite right…

Sierra - Portrait

I tried my best to match the photos, but I still feel like I could have done a better job with the white pattern on the neck. The buyer was happy how it came out (and the two other foals that came with it), but I don’t think I’ll be doing these in the future.

I have more photos of the actual horse, which I’ll post as soon as I can track them down.
