Some Progress



So, I thought this drawing would be all finished by now but unfortunately I was unwell all week and didn't get as much done as I wanted, to my annoyance.  I guess that some progress is better than no progress though.

It's been such a long time since I drew a horse like this and it's bringing back good memories.  I was such a horsey girl growing up.  I grew up in the country on the Fleurieu Peninsula and was obsessed with riding and caring for horses.  When I wasn't around the horses, I would be drawing them while procrastinating about Science or Maths homework.

When I left school I gave up horses unfortunately.  I discovered boys and work and having money for the first time.  So horses were slowly squeezed out of the picture.

I still love horses but don't have the finances or energy to care for one, so I love them from afar.



In The Works

 

 

Thought I would give a sneak peek at what I'm up to now.  I don't usually post about my art mid-process because I am afraid of jinxing myself and worry that the drawing won't turn out if I let people see it before it is finished!  For some reason I'm starting to feel okay about it.  I admit that I love to see other artists' work process as it is so interesting to see how they get from A to B.

 

This drawing is much larger than I would usually do.  I am usually comfortable with about an A4 sized page but this one is about 45cm x 30cm.  I have some larger frames and had matting made to fit them so am aiming to work bigger for those.

Hi there :)  I was listening to the radio while drawing this and was really loving 'Run' by Alison Wonderland, as well as the new Flume/Sam Smith remix.  Really seemed to fit the mood.
