Back to My Horses

I haven't worked on my horses recently because it's too hot in the mud room.  I'm going out today because I'm dying to finish the little horse!  When I was out this past weekend, I found a primer in white that you can sand but it isn't Krylon.  Since it's you can sand it I'm going to try it anyway.  The resins that I bought are all ready to prime and I can't wait to start on one of them.  I'm a little concerned about the little horse and the pastels because I'm not sure if I'm putting enough color layers on him.  I guess if he's starting to look like a palomino I'm getting enough color on him.  I'm such a chicken when it comes to trying something new!  I think I mentioned that before.  I am going to start taking pictures because I want to see how I'm doing.  I don't care if anyone else sees it.  B is trying to be supportive but I know it frustrates him (a lot).  I've got to try and set up a schedule to work on the horses and I want to try oil painting them.  As a matter of fact, I'm waiting for new 
oil paints that I ordered from Jerry's Artarama.  That's another thing I'm looking forward to.  I think since I'm going to have the afternoon partly by myself, I'm going to work on some of my other horses.  It's great to have so many to work on!

Horses, Horses, Horses

Well, I haven't been here recently, BUT I have been working on my horses and I'm starting with pastels to see how they work out.  It's pretty cool.  I have to be patient and that's difficult.  I have a lot of problems with the ADD and focusing on one thing for very long.  It's getting worse too.  The nice thing about this hobby though, is that I can be working on a bunch of horses at the same time.  I'm still going to try the oil painting because I love to paint, but I think I'm going to try them on one of the smaller horses before I work on one of the better ones.  I also got some new primer in white and I found out it's not as hard as I thought it would be to use.  I should know by now that it's really important to at least try new things once in a while.  I've always had a hard time trying new things because of my fear of not being able to do them perfectly.  You can really miss some great things acting like that!
