Tommy - Standardbred Horse Oil Painting
This is another quick experiment on drafting film, in this one I have pushed the drafting film to the limit to see how much pigment it will hold and I have also experimented with a more painterly approach and burnished the whole lot thoroughly!
Its not quite the result I was aiming for (it needs more layers but there is no more tooth left in the film), but at least my eight year old horse mad daughter loves it:)
I actually completed this one before starting the Weimaraner pet portrait, so I hope I learned enough from doing this one to get the result I am aiming for with the Weim. I did enjoy doing this one and the journey is sometimes more important than the destination, so it was worth it.
I keep getting asked asked to do more horse art, so keep an eye out for them in the future!
Cheers
Michelle
