Just about done! Still want to add a few moonlight highlights on grass. Sadly, don't think this pic shows detail. Will try to post a better quality pic next week. Also photos of the exhibition. Publicity shots were taken for local papers today as well. Now relaxing with well earned glass of wine! Have my sketchbook to update for monday (assessment day) over the wkend.
Worked mostly on grass/foreground today, with a little on texture + shadows on horses. Hopefully mostly finished tomorrow!
11.5 hours today... But getting there (and i didn't lose the plot! Yay me!) Worked on midground, foreground, forest, manes, tails, coat textures... Neck + shoulders are murder!
Hours worked:- 10. Plot lost:- 5. Oh dear. But progress has been made. Ground shadow, leg shadows, manes + tails worked on, and hooves. Knackered...
Another closeup. Worked 9-7 today, with very little break. Am bamjaxed. Shadows + texture mostly. Pleased tho.
This is my weekend work, the other piece for the exhibition. I'll probably tweak some of the canvasses a bit yet. Finding the right layout is hard: i had intended them to follow the vague layout of a horses body, but i think the colours will clash too badly. Going from small to big canvas + back again repeatedly has had my head in bits!
Just to verify the size! Worked on texture/detail today, gives it a chance to dry before monday. Also rubbed linseed oil into the back horse. 5 days work left, + i think i can do it...
Once again trying to show depth of glazes; also wanted to show that i've started on the hair texture. Worked on muscle tone a bit as all my glazes have blended a bit too well. Think i've got my 2nd wind on it today, i feel more like i know where it's going...
Trying a zoomed in shot to see if i can catch the depth of the glazes on the horses. Worked on both today, but most pleased with the work on the hind horse, finally getting the shadows in.
Time is passing! But the deadline for finishing painting has been extended into next week, thank heavens. Applied more white glaze today, worked on foreground texture + hooves. Must try + get a proper photo to show depth of the horses.
More subtle work today - put glazes on both horses, the fore horse now looking quite silver + the depth is more visible in the flesh. Hidden horse now with a tan hint as opposed to pink, but a few more glazes will see him 'grey'. Also worked on sky, but that might have been a bad idea as was in really bad mood so concentratim not great... Not in till tuesday now, due to bank holiday.
