Otto CMG In Progress

This is 'Otto' a beloved pony sculpture done by Sarah Minkiewicz-Breunig and produced years ago in earthenware ceramic by Pour Horse Pottery.  This bisque was sent to me by a client who wants him custom glazed to a dark liver chestnut with flaxen mane and tail, no dappling.  He has a minimal tobiano pinto pattern that I have masked off with latex.  In this photo I have just airbrushed the raw,  unfired under glaze on in a few layers of different colors.  Then removed the latex.  Now he's ready for me to fine detail the edges of the white and clean up some of the overspray elsewhere.  Once I am satisfied he's as tidy as can be, I'll fire the under glaze layer at cone 04 to set it.  Then I can proceed with more detailing and additional layers.  This piece stands about 6 inches tall by 7 inches long.
