I planned on finishing #NaMoPaiMo, but alas, it didn’t happen.

You don’t realize how many spots an appaloosa has until you decide to paint one.
Upon closer inspection of my reference photos, I realized I couldn’t get away with only doing face mottling.

The first weekend of NaMoPaiMo is coming to a close and my model is coming along. This year I decided to paint a traditional model instead of a stablemate like last year.
I have a bad habit of when an idea comes into my head, that’s all I want to do. I’ll end up doing an all nighter or all weekend binge to get the idea out. Sometimes the end result comes out how I imagined, but other times it’s just a hot mess. My goal this year is to pace myself. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and my model doesn’t need to be either.

I bought a saddle. Which is exciting.
The last thing is something I’ve notified the correct channels weeks ago, but haven’t announced publicly. I’m not going to Breyerwest. I was so honored and excited to be asked to run a workshop and hang out with awesome people, but school is taxing and time consuming and I realized that it would be irresponsible to take off so many days. Everything is in order–the workshop is covered–I just won’t be running it. Hopefully one day I can make it to Breyerwest, but this year isn’t going to happen. For those going–please take plenty of photos!
