Since this horse is going to be a Medicine Hat pinto, paint the entire horse white with flat white spray paint.

Pink skin. Mix a small drop of red model paint with paint thinner to make a dilute wash. If you would like, add a bit of brown, and yellow, or a bit of human flesh tone. Now, paint the nose, around the eyes and the genitals with the wash. On a horse with white markings, the skin will show through in areas where the hair is short. This included around the nose, eyes, inside of the ears, underside of the tail and genitals.

Add just a bit more brown or flesh tone to the dilute solution and paint the hooves.

With a pencil, draw in outlines of the dark markings. To get accurate markings, work from a photo or real horse. This horse is going to be a bay Medicine Hat, so the spots on the body will be brown, and the few spots on the lower legs will be black.

Here's the first coat of brown paint. On this type of pinto the spots have ragged edges. Take your time over this step, and let the paint dry completely between coats. Several thin coats will look better than one thick coat of paint.
