Work In Progress - Bathing Beauty


Now that the toucan has been completed, I am starting a series of horse paintings. The first two will be large...depicting Clydesdales getting bathed. I got the idea for this when I visited the fair and watched them bathe these beauties...how patiently they stood for their baths.

I have blocked in the initial composition, attempting to pick out the values. There is little emphasis on color at this point. I fear that the horse's anatomy is slightly wierd...the ears look like those of a mule. Left out is the bucket with soapy water and the brush. I will place them in the lower left corner.
