Make sure you don't glob paint onto detailed part like the mane and tail.
If you like, oil pastels can be used for awesome shading by rubbing them on a pallet, then scrubbing a hard brush that you don't care about into the color, then wipe it on. You may have to repeat that several times.
For fleabites or teeny tiny appy markings, use a really shoved-apart crayola brush (those plastic bristled black and colored ones) or use a normal brush with a little bit of paint, hold kinda far away but not so far as to get it all over the table, then give the end of the brush a long flick. It should make speckles!
For eyes, use a toothpick for a tiny horse, or the finest tip brush you have, then do black. Then do color insie of that if you're adventurous, then another smaller black dot.
For finishing, I use mod podge, but don't use that for chalk pastels because the would smear them.
When mod podging over oil pastels, go lightly on the first coat. If you feel like to you need more, just do a second coat more normally because the oil pastel should be sealed in well enough.
Use gloss mod podge or clear nail polish overtop of hooves, eyes, and maybe even the mane and tail if you want them SUPER silky.
Finishing is NOT totally necessary, but if you don't, it has a weird texture that I personally don't like, and you have to be a little more careful not to chip them or rub them on other horses.
That's all I have for now! Hope I helped!

My first vid is up on BlueSpringsStablesEventing it's called Real Life Horses!! A schleich preview to follow

I have 3 vids up so far!!

Wow! I'll go look!

Give me inspiration for my videos!!!!

Um, barn tours, model reviews, tutorials

same where I live but TSC is probably my fav store

I have gone to TSC once. Ever. It's only like 15 minutes away and we go to JoAnns (about 5 minutes from TSC) but my mom won't take me there! It's sad!

TSC is amazing! They have so many new schleich!

We don't even have TSC in Australia

I know! my birthday wish list will sure look weird...

Trip to TSC with no limits on my spending (and only my dad)
Permission to buy a breyer
Have friends over more often

Yeah.. Weird

Did you know Walmart has some schleich? It depends on you area, but on the schleich website you can look up stores that sell schleich in your area.

Yes they do that's why I love it


You live in Austrialia omg how lucky are you!!!!!? It is my dream to go there!

My Walmart use to but they took it away but TSC has more anyways well at least mine does

Yeah, I've done that but only TSC showed up. Methinks I'll go check my grandmas area...

Dream of mine

Ya, I hope to do that for my B-day too. Okay, so my friends and I are playing with my schleich fairies at school, and they keep complaining. If they don't like ONE thing on the fairie, they complain, and say how I should buy prettier and better schleich fairies. Ugh, I want to see their reaction if I come without them.

You should just not bring them and see what happens!! But the fairies are made the way they are made and you didn't have a say in how they should look so they should learn that.

Got to go I am going for a ride on my girl

Happy 300 page SCHLEIGH!!!!!!

I am back and yeah happy 300th pg!

Yay happy 300!

I actually noticed that earlier but wasn't sure if it was weird

I found out tons of places near my grandma have Schleich. I saw at least 5 before the stupid thing crashed.

Hey, you know what else is to celebrate? 7500!!!
