The freckles still need some more work doing on them to create some more depth, but this is how the painting looks at the moment. | ||||||||

Part of the progress on the horse's head. I build up the structure by blocking in the shadows, applying a wash or 2 if I feel the need, which is more often than not. | ||||||||

I tend to work rather randomly, get bored of one bit and move onto another. I got bored of his face and worked some more on his body. Adding more of those spots. Using the same method -spotting then applying a wash. | ||||||||

I also started blocking in his hooves. I noticed I wasn't happy with the tail it looked too much like a block of color and there was no wispiness to it. |

To rectify that I used some of the green (still left on my palette I knew I would need it) and put in some very fine brush strokes on the tail as shown. To get more depth and detail to the horse's mane and tail, I used much the same method as used for the tall grass under the tree line. Building it up with fine brush strokes and a couple of washes. Although this time I didn't put down a wash last as I wanted more detail and that would have dulled it down. Now I think you can see that the tail looks better than before. |
