Brown Standing Horse Eating - WIP stages

composite image of 'Brown Standing Horse Eating' in stages

This composite photograph shows work in progress stages on an oil painting of a horse. The horse was enjoying the surroundings of the New Forest, Hampshire.
The first panel shows the initial subject drawn in with brown acrylic paint on an orange (ground) base. The second panel features some of the base colours placed in again using acrylic paint. This paintwork acts as a base for the oil paints to sit on during the final application, which can be seen to be started in the third panel. The fourth panel shows the completed painting. as an experiment I decided to keep some of the base painting showing, rather than have all of the painted area 'finished'.
The final painting can be seen clearly here on this link.
