Of course it starts with a couple of horse drawings then a horse painting or two...some word of mouth...and then, "wait, YOU AIRBRUSH"!!! "Yep" I said. "Could you do the trainner's helmet?! She would love to have it redone." I used Auto-Air paint with my airbrush. Many different shades of purple and layers of glitter and pearls. The images in the close up view are the front and back. I used, after the clearcoat, One-Shot pin stripe paint to design the horse and her name on back. p.s. the horses name is The Frenchmen
