I would say add some shadows in the foreground and background to define the placement of the horses so they don't look like they are floating but are on solid ground. Hope that helps. Love it.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01657505667709667211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885956111156401187.post-8799606572843605722011-04-20T22:08:39.592-04:002011-04-20T22:08:39.592-04:00Crystal, I think the hardest part was getting the ...Crystal, I think the hardest part was getting the horses sized proportionately in relation to the difference in distance of each one.

The horse in foreground is not strong enough yet. his face and neck [less so] need stronger shadows; the face especially is very bony and requires more careful shading - you don't want ruin it now, so close to a beautiful completion. The chest, front legs, barrel and rump are good. The horse's right hind leg, especially as it emerges from the body, needs darkening. I hope I haven't overwhelmed you, Gretchen!Studio at the Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02900305750995808779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885956111156401187.post-63537367794194033852011-04-15T16:16:10.654-04:002011-04-15T16:16:10.654-04:00I really like it Gretchen.
