In the Studio

I have the beginnings of the horse now painted onto the panel. It took a few days for the purkle underpainting to dry, and now I’m ready to work on the horse! I’m working in oils for this project, a medium I haven’t worked in a whole lot yet, but am slowly building my confidence up in them. For this project, they are going on like butta’! I guess I just didn’t like working on canvas, the texture, blah yucky! Panels be smooth as a baby’s bottom, lets the paint glide on so easily and details can be nice and tight. Yep!! Here’s today’s installment…or rather, last night’s, but it was too dark to get a decent photo of it. This is just a rough in layer for the horse to establish his position in the painting, and some loose details. A LOT to do on his face, so don’t mind that.
