        Hello everyone,
        It’s been awhile since I’ve posted (or drawn much of anything for that matter!?)… but with spring approaching, I’m a bit more inspired.

        The reference photo for this piece is from WildOne on Pixabay.com, and I couldn’t resist it:

        I’ve just nicely gotten started.

        Using Microns in various sizes on Strathmore 500 bristol. Finished size will be 10.5″ x 16″:

        Sorry the image is rather washed out… I’m relying on a camera rather than a scanner at present, and the lighting leaves something to be desired.

        C&C always welcome. Thanks for looking!

                Amazing technique. I thought this was a pencil drawing at first.

                    Thanks very much, Christel. And thank you as well, John. Cross-hatching tends to be my technique of choice.

                    Really lovely sensitive drawing here – and beautifully observed!

                    Cheers, Maureen

                                    Some work on the harness today…

                                    Debating on whether or not to punch up the contrast in this area, as I’m looking to make the horses’ faces the focal point rather than competing with all that hardware and leather. The photo is amazingly clear, but that also makes it extremely busy… Guess I’ll wait and see how it unfolds.

                                        Ah I can see the fine hatching now on the close up better, most sensitively done indeed.

                                        I don’t think “punching up” the contrast in that area will over complicate the pic or lessen the hoses faces as being the focal point.
                                        The faces are the lightest part of the photo so that will only help to emphasize them as the FP. & make the whole work stronger IMHO.
