been working on this class assignment this week.. i missed a few of the classes( like all of them) so hope i got the idea of what we were supposed to do!!!LOL

had fun just letting the shadows blend in the horse and ground.. used three colors ayellow, perm aliz.crim and ulta marine blue.. love how they just took on a life of their own!! tried not to touch much with a brush once they were down. just rolled the paper to try and keep the freshness..

Cindi, isn't amazing what can be done with only three colors? I love the colors you achieved on the horse, especially on the backside- very fresh colors, beautiful blends.I love this.

Love this horse - very fresh - I can feel the warm sun in the field! Have missed your blog posts; hope all is well with you.

Stephie Butler said...

And so you should be pleased. this is so fresh and alive Cindi..I love the way you've let the colours do there own thing and resisted touching them, doesn't it make such a difference..

Your work just keeps getting better and better...
