I used a warm brown to warm up the horse and later added details and values (esp. light).  I lightened and warmed-up the background (I used a warm off-white).  I started adding back the bottom of the mane, but need to continue as it is not finished (I cut it off when fixing the background).

PCRD Class

I added more detail and warmth to the horse, especially the eyes, face, and muzzle areas.  The dark was a combo of indigo and burnt sienna.   I used burnt sienna to warm it up some.  It needs more details and darks, but it's getting close to complete.

PCRD Class

I lightened and warmed-up the background.  I darkened some areas on the horse and added more detail.  I fixed the 'chin' issue.  It's better but still needs a lot of help, lol...

This is the watercolor version.  I mixed a dark (indigo and burnt sienna) to add dark values to the main and eye, nostril, 'chin hair', etc.  I added some burnt sienna to the horses face, ear, and body as well (just a little).

PCRD Class

The acrylic version.  I added a lot of lights on the face, mane, and background.  I added light and dark and some detail to the eye and other areas.

Adventures in WC - Sertoma Class

This is the first stepo in this painting, the value study under painting we started in class.

This is the second step, the addition of color over the under painting.  I added rose, new gamboge, indigo, and burnt sienna.  Add the color like you would a glaze.  Add a very wet mixture on dry paper.

Adventures in WC - Sertoma Class

This is after more details and more dark values.  It needs more work (values, values, values...), but is close to complete (the color differences between photos is due to the time of day I took the picture...)

PCRD Class

I added more dark values and details as well as highlights.  It needs more work, but is getting close to complete.

PCRD Class

I added some more color.  It needs detail and darks of course.

PCRD Class

I lifted for light areas and added some dark areas (which it badly needed).  It still needs more detail and dark areas, but is improving.

PCRD Class

This is the watercolor version after the start of adding color to the blue under painting.  There is a damaged area in the middle, it will be camouflaged later (and ignored now, luckily it's in a dark area).

PCRD Class

This is the acrylic horse after adding color, drying, adding brown and black for the mane and lifting out some light areas as I worked.  I also added a cream color to lighten the background.  It needs a lot more detail and value work, but it's a good start.

PCRD Class

Colored pencil, it needs a lot of detail and value work still.  I have layered a lot of color which I like.

Colored pencil before class

Colored pencil version of this project.  I got a little further and still have a little way to go.

PCRD Class

I was able to get a little further on the watercolor version of this project.  It needs a little more detail and some darks.
