Day 6


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.

Day 5


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!

Day 4


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!

Day 3


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...

Day 2


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.
