Horses in Countryside Snow - digital painting

This countryside themed painting was created during early January 2017. Depicted in the painting is a countryside scene in the midst of winter on a crisp snowy day with bright sunshine and blue skies.Two horses are about taking in the changes to their normally grassy landscape. 

This is a subject I would normally painting in oils or acrylic paint but here it is painted digitally on a computer, the scene itself is just made up. The software used is ' Auto Sketchbook pro', with a small amount of texture details added in photoshop, plus some regrading colour wise to finish off the painting.

Winter scene with castle - digital painting

 This small (960 x 1280px) picture was digitally painted as a small project on my Samsung Galaxy tablet using the  'Auto Desktop Pro' art app. The programe responds to pen pressure input through the tablets built in 'Wacom' pressure sensitive screen, enabling painting on the device. The only part done outside of the app was when the image was exported and placed in Photoshop where the type was added on a PC. I have used the app for some sketching from life outdoors during the summer and sometimes for roughing out ideas, where the image would be exported to Photoshop to be refined in to a finished painting. This example is the first time that a painting has been finished (as much is practical) on the tablet. 
The scene was not expected to be a Christmas card for followers on social media, but as it was finished a few days before and had a suitable subject, it was made so.
