Doina,
Good work on the horse .
I think the neck seems a little skinny for the size of the head - maybe I don't know enough about horses.
Still, you did well.

Very nicely done Doina
I'm thinking maybe blend/soften, just a tiny bit, at the base of the neck/body.
Beautiful.

Hello, everybody.
This is my rendition of Horse portrait lesson.
Horses are my favorite animals, so I was looking forward to this lesson. I followed Dennis and also tried to add different features from my reference photos (a mane, for example).
The most important feature for me was the horse's eye. I really liked the way it come out. Dennis mentioned that with the highlight it looks more photographic but the blue paint didn't go there (probably a small piece of masking fluid left). I didn't want any more correction because I was afraid to spoil the work I satisfied with. So, I left it as is.
Dennis for a great lesson!
everybody with your paintings.
All the best.
Lidiya.

Lidiya,
Love how you did the horse. Twinkling eye is perfect.
Great job.

Lidiya, I must say the eye is beautiful.
The other eye if you will look at the picture does not stand out like that to a point. You need to soften it out so it does not come to such a sharp point. Hope this helps. Keep up the good work.

Awsome horse Lidiya, i like that you have put your own twiste to the horse. The eyes are nice and glossy, the mane makes it look very nice and i lipke the colour of your horse.

again Natalie,
Mea,
Danielle for your lovely comments on my painting.
Dennis,
Nina. I took your advice and lifted off the sharp point at the other eye of the Horse.
Looks better.
I truly appreciate your encouragement and support, everybody.
All the best.
Lidiya.

That eye is great - it looks wet and I like the addition of the mane. Very nice painting.
