Peek a Boo - Catherin McMillan

Peek A Boo

Been a while since I posted a blog .. will make sure to remedy that this year.. the last couple of months have been what you could call a write off ..

Finished Peek a Boo off this morning I decided to use a different paper from my usual canson pastel paper..

This time around I used art spectrum "colour fix" which is a little like working on smooth sandpaper giving the image a textured look.

Peek a Boo is off to WA for an exhibition unless sold prior...

Thank you Katherine Waddington for the use of your photo ☺

Zac - work in progress

Zac - work in progress

Finally had a chance to work on Zac's portrait again today.. his face is coming together nicely and Ive blocked in his neck and plaits both on his neck and fore head.

I will continue working on the halter next and then his muzzle before starting on Zac's neck.

Once Ive work on the entire drawing I will then decide how much it will need darkening

Tyson & Pez - Catherin McMillan

Tyson & Pez

Tyson & Pez's portrait was commissioned as a 21st birthday present from Kelly.. Tyson's mother..

I really enjoyed the challenge of creating all those dapples on Pez's coat. Tyson & Pez his beautiful stallion are regular competitors on the Australian show jumping circuit.

I love immortalising these special moments in time that become treasured family heirlooms.

Clear for Take Off

Clear for Take Off

I started work on this piece quite some time ago.. and just could work out what it was that I wasn't happy with... finally decided that it needed a change of back ground colour.. so out came the black and now I feel its working much better makes the horse and rider stand out.

Feather in my Cap

Feather in my Cap

Sometimes when you complete a work your not entirely happy with it when you come back and take a look later on.

That's been the case with Feather in my Cap it wasn't until I photographed the finished drawing that I realised there was a mark on the paper. Rather than rework the entire drawing I decided to add a back ground colour...

I think he blue back ground brings the horse and little girl more forward toward to the foreground in the drawing.. so thank goodness for that mark.

A Feather in my Cap... work in progress

A Feather in my Cap - work in progress

Its funny how when you look at a work on the computer you can see all the things that need to be altered...

Really happy with the progress on A Feather in my Cap so far.. I made a good start on the horse.. though still quite a lot to do on its head and perhaps the direction of that rump curve as well

I blocked in the saddle cloth to give me an idea of where the darks fall on the horses body underneath that saddle colth

A Feather in my cap.. work in progress

A Feather in my Cap - work in progress

After two weeks out of the studio its so nice to be back and back in full swing.

A Feather in my Cap .. is another of the pastel pieces I will be taking to Arizona with me...

This morning has been spent working on the girls hat, hair and shirt...

The hat and hair will need a few more lights and Im debating if the sleeve will need to be thinned down a little..

Two as One... work in progress .. stage 3

Two as One - stage 3

The saddle and jeans are now completed.. and Ive now started work on the horses chest and neck... the colour in the riders shirt is still up to debate..

I may make it all pink or shades of pink.. or a mixture of colours to give the illusion of texture with out detracting from the rest of the drawing..

Two as One will be 12" x 24" approx upon completion
