Horse portrait finished

The second portrait of the pretty Westphalian mare is finished as well and her owners are very happy. So am I - the reference photo was rather poor so I am very pleased with the result. I am sure the two horse portraits will look great next to each other.

Pastel painting update

Finally another update on the Corvette pastel painting. It seems to be taking ages but every inch needs to be 'perfect'. I will get there in the end! :o)

Horse portrait ctd

I did get some work done on the Corvette last night but haven't got round to taking a photo yet. However, there is a new scan of the horse portrait:

Horse portrait - new scan

We went to Chessington Zoo yesterday and took some great photos. I might draw a tiger soon if I can make some time...and there's still several meerkat portraits that I'd like to do in charcoal. My 'fun portrait' reference photo list is getting longer and longer....

I have made some progress on the second portrait of the pretty Westphalian horse. Her owners are over the moon with portrait 1 so I'm determined to make portrait 2 a success as well! ;o)
