	I finally, after many years, picked upmy painting tools... This is just a study for shading with water color.

24 Mar 2003	Linda Christin Brennholt	Loading... Very nice picture, but the background would look better if it wasn't quite so alarming. Colour is nice to horse, but try to get it more in one colour all over, not with stripes. Horse is (as always)beautiful. Have you used a picture of a Lipizzan doing courbette or something?? I never remember the names of the things they do. Jump up, kick with backlegs in air, and land on all four legs Diana Dileany Alfthan replies: "I think the horse looks dirty I have another one incoming soon(I just want to draw something to update with it... moderators sake ) and I think Im improving a bit... just wait and see Tho painting white isnt the most easiest thing to do... why didnt I choose something bit easier for starters? And no, I didnt use any pictures... I think he's doing Courbette... not 100% sure tho. Not an easy position either "
14 Apr 2003	E. Hamer	Loading... I like it, but I think it would be a bit better if the outline was a bit more clear. It seems to sort of "fuzz" into the background. Not that I should be talking, I can't do backgrounds to save my life, lol, colored or not. I think you captured the pose very well, though, as always. Oh, yes, one more thing... The term you're looking for is capriole... The courbette is when they rise on their hind legs and "hop" forward a few times. I collect random trivia, lol, and it helps that a few years ago I was obsessed with Lippi's... Again, nice job. Keep up the good work. >^.^< Diana Dileany Alfthan replies: "Yup, this was my first attempt with aquarel crayons... And it shows "
6 Jun 2003	Anonymous	Loading... It beautiful, pure and simple.
11 Jun 2005	Avalar	Loading... I will agree that the background should be less startling. Perhaps a light green or something? The Pegasus itself is excellent. I have a Pegasus quite like it in my book...but he's huge and detests mud!
