This image shows the current progress on the Wyoming wild horse drawing. I have been applying layers of colored pencil over the grisaille I discussed in the previous post: various values of grays and beige, black, ochres, and grape. Currently I am laying in the details of the facial fur, starting on the forehead and working my way down -- much to do there still! Though most of the mane, forelock, and eyes are completed, I will return to them to do the finish work. Next post..........it will be done!
Thanks for stopping in.
So soft I just want too touch that face :)
ReplyDeleteVery tonal and gorgeous Lynda.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the CPSA show acceptance. But then your acceptance is a given.
ReplyDeletea beautiful work of art already of the most magnificent creatures on our planet (imho). I love the atmosphere you manage to create in your paintings: mysterious, beguiling, magnetic....
ReplyDeleteHey Gary, thanks -- and also for the vote of confidence -- but as you know, one never knows!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rahina; and I agree -- horses are lovely creatures -- and observing my own three from day-to-day, I am continually amazed at how sensitive and intelligent they are.
Beautiful work! The backlit, galloping herd is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Kathryn. I came upon your blog through Elizabeth McCrindle's -- loved it, especially as soon as I read you'd rather muck out a stall with your bare hands than clean a litter box! hahahaha
