The Three [Tamworth] Musketeers


I've added more to the foreground grasses ...

... more shadowing to the piglets

I think, other than a bit of tidying up of edges, it's done.
This is where I have taken it, and surprisingly to me [because I did not look at my value study while painting ... uh-oh], it follows the values of the reference photo quite well. This breed of pig is English in origin, and is called Tamworth.  



I am leaving pigs as models for a bit to work on a horse painting.

As always, your comments are most welcome!

    I love your pigs, they really look great. I haven't been had a chance to check out your work for a few days and you have been very busy. I think these pigs are my favourite even though I do like the others as well.

    So interesting to watch as your skilled touch brought the "musketeers" to life. Also found your value comparison helpful. Nice post!

    Hi Studio at the Farm,
    Really interesting shadow pigs each other.
    I like back ground colour as well.
