Didn't get as much done today, mainly because the canvas was too wet. Still, the mid + foreground needed starting, + at least i got that done.
Put another glaze on the fore horse - trying to match the description of silver! Almost wish i'd chosen a composition without hooves. Also, the photos i'm using as reference are of 2 bay horses - colour changing is awkward!
Worked on nearer hills, left hand forestry + the forward horse on the right hand canvas. Keep finding little bits i got wrong in the sketch - that'll teach me to rush in!
Worked on the mountains today, + put glazes on to the horses, mainly to escape the 'my little pony' comments! Should not have attempted the eye with 2 fool caretakers behind me making comments about king billy...
This was the result at 6pm on thursday 23rd. I'm going to work a little more on the cloud near the forward horses' mane when the paint dries a little. (I'm now working in oils) am pleased with the result so far tho.
My final piece for the Foundation Art diploma. 2 6ft x 4ft canvasses, acrylic underpainting. This photo shows the progress at the end of day 1 (wed 22nd) + i'll hope to update every day with a new photo + any thoughts on how the piece is going... (Comments would be very welcome!)
