I would have struggled to do the white ring on the valise/portmanteau….he has managed to do the blue diamonds within the ring! A very clever touch I never thought of. The rear view just above. I always leave the back of the shabraque, where it is inevitably a solid block onto the horse, black. How much better and 3d it looks painted as the outer surface of the cloth |

Gorgeous Rafa!
As Deadhead says painting those white end peices of the valise is a pain.Blue diamonds on the shabraque WOW! |

Amazing work – and not colours I would have thought of with Bavarians Another vote for high marks for that lacing! |

Agreed – the blue diamonds are very difficult to do and look great. |

The lozenges are great! Bravo! |

Ow, did he paint blue lozenges, or white triangles top and bottom to define them? Good work. Slightly too stylised for my tastes but I can respect and admire his craftsmanship. But Liam, I am not so sure about the underside of the Shabraque. I think the black "shadow" approach still may be better, as it allows a suggestion of the cloth being thin. |

Excellent work, I have these on the plan for the year, not looking forward to those lozenges… |

Marc's suggestion is genius. Paint the white triangles not the diamond lozenges. "Paint up to the line" is the rule and it does allow some very fine (detailed "fine") work. |

Rafa – I salute you. No way could I paint the diamonds, I would have to paint the triangles. First class work. |
