Large commission..cont


Ok, Time to blog! Half term and sickness bug had put a stop to painting for a couple of days but we are back on track and steaming towards the home straight! This one is very nearly complete now so this piccy is where its at this eve. I have gone through each one doing underpaintings and loose details, now working my way back the other way (no particular reason) tightening them all up, adding fine detail and blending colours, light and shading. So 2 more to go. Hopefully finish Tues and have Wednesday for fiddling!

I am loving all the nitty gritty tack details and the colour blending :-)
Joined together with the looseness and course brushstrokes of the background.
The background is going to have to be re worked once the horses are complete. I have patched it up in places due to slight changes in the horses as I have progressed. The basic idea will be the same, working with sagey greens, middle grey, raw umber, buff titanium and titanium white.
