This is the third study of Chief that I'm painting. I'll post the others at a later date. This size takes me days, so I thought I'd post several steps. I used grid lines and Bargue drawing techniques to get the horse right. Both are helpful. You can google Bargue to learn about it. It's really great. It has you visually lining up parts of the object both horizontally and vertically with other parts of the object.

This is truly amazing Pam.
Cant wait to see it finished.
So skillfully done. Love the movement and free-spirited nature you have captured. Well done.
beautiful so far!....I'll be watching for the next phase
I often use grid lines with portraits but I'm trying so hard to be able to draw naturally. I have to say that I think this is a slightly tighter style for you and I just love it!
Rachel, thank you so much! I'll be re-posting several times.
Thank you Julie. It is a fun challenge for me!
Debbi, Thanks so much! Love your adjective: free spirit! A wonderful way to describe him.
Thanks so much Celeste.
Sherry, Thank you. I, too, prefer to just draw, But, this is a commission and I really want him to be "right."
It's coming along beautifully, Pam!!
I look forward to your next post.
Pam, great job, you captured the movement of this beautiful horse! Fun to see the progression of you work!
