WIP horse and heather in the New Forest

WIP horse and heather in the New Forest

This image shows a work in progress of a painting featuring some horses standing on heathland in the New Forest, Hampshire, near to the town of Lyndhurst. The painting is done in oils on a canvas board measuring 20" X 16".
The fist stage shows the drawing, done in brown acrylic paint on a red ground. I have made it B/W here for clarity. The second panel shows a rough acrylic layer where the basic colours, main dark in tone have been placed. The final panel shows the finished oil painting.
The horses were not at the scene. I added them for extra interest.
