Whether you're painting Wellesley specifically or want some pointers on horses or British officers (and some do-not-do!) then this ought to help point in the right direction.

We are all but mortals! Sometimes an idea doesn't pan out, but a miniature's not ruined just when one thing doesn't work the way you'd hoped. Remember that a paintjob isn't finished until the last brush stroke.
