Done

Day light, before last wash

Day, after wash. I masked only the eye.

Studio light before

Studio light, after wash.


I think it's all right for a first attempt. Now I'd like to try this technique with a variety of subjects.

As always, your comments are most welcome. And if you absolutely cannot live without it, it is for sale. :)

    Catching up with your blog, Kathryn, and really enjoyed the photos of Bruno - beautiful boy! This resuce horse portrait is so mystical - I love it. I have no idea about the technique but I see you have filled it with love! Wonderful job!

    I think it is stunning! I love the shadows of the veins down his nose. There is a mystical feel to this. It is beautifully done :0)

    Beautiful finish - and you can tell the artist knows her horse anatomy well - did I say beautiful? Well, it deserves two of them and a big nose nuzzle to the handsome boy.

    Amazing artwork. I can only dream to paint horses like you. The wash, the eyes, the veins...Ah.. so wonderful. The solidness of this artwork reminds me sculptures in Saint Petersburg, Russia
    Thank you Kathryn,
    Irina
