Hi Yorkie and welcome to the Forum,
hope you'll enjoy your stay here and will find it interesting

For how long you've been painting? and what you usually
like painting?
I'm asking because I see you've tried to paint something
really difficult, think as a start it's OK, just the eye line
is too down. Can't comment the technique cos the image is not very
clear

Hope to see some update on this one and some more of your works

[yorkie]

Thank's.
i've been painting in oils on and off for approx 6 years,
Glad you noticed the eye,it was different but i changed it when i shouldn't of really
I'll post another that has to be classed as finnished raelly as it got a bit tatty in storage

6 years is a long time and I see you've
achieved very good progress

The second one you posted looks nice, just not sure
if you've got a problem with your camera cos images you
post are a bit blured. The thing with animals if you want
to paint them realistic is that you have to try to manage with the 3D,
ie shades and ligths apply the same way as you draw in pencil

Will look forward to seeing the update on the first one when you finish it

[yorkie]

i think it is the camera i'll put the flash on on my next update i think and see how it comes out,

thanks for posting these close-ups
I still can see few mistakes in the anatomy
ie the eyes I pointed in my previous post and
the mug which doesn't look like horse's mug at the mo
Another thing - the background colour, think this blue
it's too raw, just my opinion

[yorkie]

Ah,ok..
thank's for your comments,
i will have a play with it and see what happens

Hi Yorkie - yes I would agree with Deco's comments and what looks strange is also on the right of the horse I think this actually takes your eye away from the horse - it just looks a bit strange and with the blue it doesn't quite work - perhaps if you rework it with a 'softer' background it would look much better and make the horse stand out more. Look forward to seeing your next update
