Old painting revisited

I have decided to try and do some work on this old painting I started six years ago . Didn’t like it so left it half done.

Re: Old painting revisited

So reworked the eye and a bit of the muzzle .

Re: Old painting revisited

Maybe a bit of background colour

Re: Old painting revisited

Muddy, can I be honest?

Love the improvements to the horse, but think the background is too bright, too overpowering.
He should be the main feature to me, but the bright background hits you first.

To me, the second picture down where you have the beigy background makes him really stand out.

Please don't be offended but opinions are not a lot of help if they are not honest. X

Re: Old painting revisited

A really good painting Muddy - very talented.

Re: Old painting revisited

I am not offended at all Mups just sloshed it on a little while ago and it’s dark -moral never paint in artificial light so I shall probably try and tone it down tomorrow .
Alas the beigy background was just the colour of the dirty old canvas ,

Re: Old painting revisited

wow, talented lady. I'd love to be able to paint or draw but I'm rubbish.

Thank you gasman

Re: Old painting revisited

I actually thought it was brilliant to start with.

Re: Old painting revisited

Gosh thank you Annie !
It didn’t seem right to me that’s why I gave up .
