I have been back and added some more highlights to his face and neck, and added a touch more red to some highlights too and I'm much happier with it now. <br /><br />For some reason this bright chestnut colour does not photograph well at all and seems to lose loads of depth and detail no matter how or where I photograph it so I haven't managed to get an accurate updated photo of it yet.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01982886363535076008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099785407040879348.post-16538371701961362712009-08-25T21:47:48.753+01:002009-08-25T21:47:48.753+01:00Beautiful painting and nice composition.Beautiful painting and nice composition.Lene Daugaardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08048312572661283268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099785407040879348.post-35685248244238657272009-08-21T19:19:07.925+01:002009-08-21T19:19:07.925+01:00Thank you Sue!

I'm afraid I am totally oblivious to most composition problems lol so I don't think it is that bothering me, I think it is the horse itself, he just looks a bit washed out. I need to put it away, start the next and go back to look with fresh eyes I think! Thanks for your kind words :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01982886363535076008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099785407040879348.post-27842467322404147272009-08-21T14:32:22.150+01:002009-08-21T14:32:22.150+01:00Well I think its fantastic :o)

It just seems to be lacking something. The reference photos I took were incredibly beautiful, perhaps I'm just a bit disappointed that the painting doesn't quite live up to them- I like it to be the other way around!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01982886363535076008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099785407040879348.post-76439158365144561192009-08-20T21:44:22.799+01:002009-08-20T21:44:22.799+01:00what about this are you not happy with? looks grea...what about this are you not happy with? looks great to me :D nice shine to his coat and the tack looks rightJennifer Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528908250338974537noreply@blogger.com
