First Layer of Paint

Wow, did it take me long enough to write this post?? Lol, I meant to publish this two days ago.

Anyhoo, I got the base coat on my collab pony! It's streaky and patchy, but that's normal for the first layer of a basecoat. I chose a nice, bright metallic chestnut for the undertones. He'll get darker and darker, but that color history will make him nice and rich. 

What do you think? I'm pretty pleased with the pattern layout, and it should complement the color nicely. :) Please post in the comments how your paint-a-long horses are coming!
