Thank you all for your interest and apologies for the delay in finishing this drawing. I have been distracted by playing around with charcoal........I never thought I would get to like it, but I really do. I also like the combination of charcoal and graphite. Will get back to the horses very soon!

I think this looks lovely, The fur is so soft. It could already work as a finished piece with just the addition of whiskers. I have also tried a charcoal drawing....not sure what I think about it yet.

Thank you very much PogArt and Mike for your comments. I had intended adding more detail to the face of the horse on the left, but wasn't sure that it was necessary. It is good to know that I don't need to do so. It has been 'put aside ' for a little while to allow time to think about how to complet...

Love the grizzly bears!! That would be a fabulous image to use.

I would take part in an online workshop - but don't think you can beat the studio workshops....shame for the people who are too far away to attend.

Thank you very much Laurene. I am pleased to read that you also think definition of the horse's muscles with shading is sufficient. I actually like the contrast between the detail in the waves, and lack of detail on the body of the horses, although it does seem slightly counter intuitive as they are...

I remember that picture well Mike! We did it after the beginners workshop, and it was definitely challenging! A guideline drawing to work with would be good. I usually rely on a light box or a grid, and know that it would take a long time for me to master drawing by eye! As for subject, something si...

Watching you draw is very relaxing and inspiring. I look forward to the second video of this drawing. It would be a good one to attempt to 'draw along' with. How about - some time in the future - a studio workshop covering a drawing such as this from start to finish over the weekend. ???

Really found this video useful. It’s good to see how basic techniques are combined into a completed work. It did make me realise that I need to continually consolidate the basics in order to move forward. The parts where you made amendments and rectified the butterfly were particularly helpful…so pl...
