Horse portrait started

I am currently working on a horse pastel portrait showing three horses. Two are Norwegian fjord horses and one is a Shetland X pony. Here's a (not so great) photo of the pencil draft. I'll post some work in progress scans as I go along.

The composition mirrors the fact that the two Norwegian fjords look after the young Shetland cross in 'real life'. The client was very happy with the pencil outline.

Horse pastel portrait finished

The pastel portrait of Irish Draught X TB mare 'Bea' is now finished. Here's a photo:

I am now working on the cat and also a charcoal dog portrait of two Bloodhounds which should be finished soon.

Horse pastel portrait - another update

And another update... I know it doesn't look like I've done much but it is quite a big portrait so it does take time. Bea is a very pretty mare so I'm certainly enjoying drawing her!
