Year of the Horse... Very fitting! 2 new paintings!

I just finished 2 paintings for a friend, who, in exchange for them, got me in to a wonderful workshop from David Alonso, owner of "Brio Natural", a technique that reminds me to Pat Parelli's method of Natural HorseManShip  <3

It was an amazing experience, and well, I paid it with art. So I couldn't be happier !

I'm making 5 paintings for him. 3 of them are delayed ones I promised him a long time ago and 1 new one that was in progress when we agreed on it and an original ACEO card.

The first one I want to show is this:

"In the beach"
Oil on Canvas
50cm x 40cm
2014

It's my FIRST painting completely based on a photograph, I'm quite proud of it. I still need to learn more of landscapes, but to be the first, I think I nailed it!


And my 2nd one

 

"Mezcalero"
Oil on Wood
Around 33cm diameter.
2014


Based on a photo I took of one of my friend's horses.
I've received lots of visits to this photo on FB, almost 490 in 2 days! It's a big achievement for me =)

I'm so happy I'm finally being able to close cycles on pending stuff.

Well, that's it for today.

Happy New Year and lots of love and health and prosperity for this new year that just started.
Thanks for watching!

Current Painting

This is the current stage of a big painting I'm making. I'm finally happy with her features and the horses, but as I changed it a bit, compared to the original sketch, I'm sorting out options to unify her hair and the horses coming out of it.  Colors are locked, just this tiny details missing and then to finish it.  I wish I had ArtResin to seal it up, I would love to see it with that beautiful glow.

I hope I can find her a home, I would't want to take her with me to the USA next year, it is bigger than my usual works =|

Thank you for reading! Have a great start of the week!

Esta es la etapa actual en que se encuentra la pintura que estoy haciendo. Finalmente estoy feliz con su look y con los caballos, pero como cambié el diseño final a como estaba en el boceto a lápiz, aún necesito estudiar opciones para unificar la sección donde los caballos emergen de su cabello. Los colores ya están bloqueados, solo faltan un par de detalles y listo, a darle los últimos toques y terminarla. Ojala tuviera a mi alcance ArtResin para usar como sellador, me encantaría ver esta pintura brillante con esa capa de resina.


Espero que pueda encontrarle hogar, no me gustaría tener que llevarla a Estados Unidos el próximo año, es más grande que mis trabajos usuales.


Gracias por leer mi blog, que tengan un muy buen inicio de semana !
