Betsy by Trevor Ferguson
Alkyd oil on canvas board - 20in x 16in - the eyes are the most appealing feature of this study - I think you if get that somewhere near the rest falls into place - the coarse hair in the mane was almost accidental but worked. I found that as a former draughtsman the details in the leather bridle was pretty straight forward and effective. I find that getting highlights on the fur/hair can be difficult - I'm not good enough yet with colour mixing to use the right colours there - adding white doesn't always have the right effect - still - must keep going.
