I've added another couple of washes to Gracie's portrait, strengthening the darks slightly. She has very delicate colouring, so I'm being very conservative with my paint and keeping the washes very light. I forgot to erase those "too dark" lines from my initial drawing! If they won't lift off now, I will have to change to acrylic paint or pastel.
I completed this a week or two ago, then became busy with other things. I'm hoping to get back to it next week. I would like very much to have this commission done and on it's way!
I'm a retired equestrian trainer turned full-time artist/artisan. Living on a working horse and sheep farm in northern Ontario, I find oodles of creative inspiration for my drawings, paintings and jewellery designs.
I tend to work intuitively and love exploring different media and techniques.
Mainly self-taught, I did complete a Visual Arts: Drawing and Painting Certificate from Sir Sanford Fleming College, Haliburton School of the Arts in 2007.
