Wow! Twyla, this is amazing! and so is the horse that you posted in MissMouse's paper thread. How about posting that as a separate thread??? Your work is brilliant!:clap:

[MissMouse]

This horse is beautiful I can only hope my horse will come out half as nice. How old is the babe?

[Ivyleaf]

Lovely contrasts on the horse, and such a beautiful reddish brown! What colors have you used for that effect?

Can't wait to see it finished :)

TeAnne Thank you:o I've been admiring your portrats sinse I got on WC they are SO nice!!!:clap:

Lulu Wiil do:D I'll tell the story of that one. Most every painting I do has a cool story behind it:D

Ivyleaf Ho boy too may! I keep finding more colours and adding more layers. Here it go's (in polychromos) for the darker areas VanDyke brown, Sepia and dark sepia. In the really dark areas I started with a good layer of Delft blue. In the lighter areas burnt orche, cinnamon,brown orche, a bit of Indian red. and for the more golden areas a little light orche. in the prismas #558 brown and #945 (dosent have a name?)These are both good mid tone browns.

I have to put this away for a few days. My sister asked me to do her soon to be hubbys cat as a gift from her to him. So I have to get going on that. My Sis is great so I just couldent say no

[Mystical*1]

[marylin h]

Magnificent! I would like to see the background just blended with a blending pencil. Grand work.

[TeAnne]

Twy, such a magnificently rendered horse :) I love the horsey lots. I want to pat him. :) but the background ruins it for me. :( Sorry :( :(
