Hunter-Jumper - Work in Progress



As I enjoy the snow falling out my window I am painting away at the easel on a quiet Sunday afternoon. I thought I would post my progress so that you all can follow along. In the above photo I have painted a very general background and a basic drawing of my foreground figures.



Here you can see I have painted out the tree which seemed too strong an element and was taking away from the horse and rider forms. I have also started to add some color to the horse and rider.

I have paused my painting session for today as I am ready to settle down with my hot cup of tea with honey and stare blankly at the television for awhile. Sunday evenings are great for that!! :)
