There were such a wonderful choice of refs Ive done 2 for this Challenge. The first is a quick sketch of the horse in PanPastels and ink.

My second painting is in Watercolors with a little pen.

[joe1It]

you are publishing very beautiful works. EP, super pages , Christel,
painting for framing, you brought it to life
Vivien, both very beautiful, the budgie is very cute and nice.
my attempts

 

[joe1It]

i don't know if the shading in my drawings. it's too much, because maybe first I had to adjust the measurements and clean the lines, or besides shading it's still correction of lines and beyond chaos the drawing improves.

Lovely paintings Vivien. I especially like the horse's expression.
Cheers,
Patricia
