Have fun with this little guy.

I did mine using Trimoon's sketch action plus some tweaks.

Oh, Palms... That is really nice!! You set him free by taking out the fence!

Been on an oil binge of late, so I thought I would try a few tricks for this one too. I used Paint Engine with Artic preset (some selective cleaning) to start things off. I then blended in Eye Candy Jiggle and canvas (varying degrees of canvas based on brighteness tones). I finally copied the original and did an edge detect that I set to darken and blended that in too (selectively) to give that pre-sketch look that most paintings start out with.

My wife had a good laugh when she saw this..........feel free to join her, i never could draw horses, no change there then.
Palms yours I like and it is sure to win races later on, it is soooo streamlined.

lkrol... wonderful combination of tecnhiques. Love all the texture and brush movement.

Gilbert, yours has a children's book look that is delightful.

I love pictures of horses there is something about them, but that is as far as it goes, as they are bigger than me and have teeth, As a youngster we used to go horse riding except i would walk the horse and not get on them

( hope Peter dosent read that, )

Did a kind of smudge, then realized there were a lot of these posted, so threw in a B&W rendition.

Caught ya!!! I see just a tad of color (green) in the trees just over the fence line on the left side. 20 lashes with a wet noodle.. :-)

Now see, Steve, Palms loves horse shots, so get out in the horse country and take some pics to paing! Heeehee

Awrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! I saw that too, and left it 'cause I was in a hurry. Should have known "Ole Eagle Eye" would spot it. In case you haven't figured out why it was left, I painted over the first one I posted, (after saving it, of course).

Not planning to head to horse farm country any time soon. But I am going down to Polk county in a day or two. If I can stand the heat, I may go over to Bok Tower and Cypress Gardens. Don't know yet.
