In the Studio - Plastic Horse Painting

Started this painting yesterday - it is 12x12" and oil on canvas.  I love doing these smaller paintings.

Here's the base of the underpainting - in this layer I'm laying out the light and dark areas of the composition.  I also noticed after doing this layer that the neck was weird, so I had to go back in and change it.

As usual, Rascal had to join me - she is only allowed in the studio if she sits in her little 'bed'.

This is how far along I got last night - just working wet-in-wet.  I'll let this layer dry for a few days and then add another layer over the top to really solidify everything and get a good amount of detail in to the horse figurine.

    Jane - she learned to sit in her little bed because I'd chuck her out of the studio the minute she left it and started 'exploring' - she eventually just learned that if she wants to hang out she's gotta hang in her basket. :)
