"The wind of heaven is that
which blows between a horse's ears."

People seemed to enjoy yesterday's progress shots, so here are some more of today's painting. I really can't believe I remembered to stop a couple of times and take pictures two days in a row! Wow, is this turning into a habit?
First Step - Paint the eyes.
Second Step - Put in light mid-tones.
Third Step - Put in darker mid-tones.
Fourth - Add the background wash.
Finally, the painting is refined and detailed
by taking pigment away with a damp brush
and adding a little darker mid-tone here and there.
