3 more mural steps.


Here is step 5 of "The Horse Gift" mural, panel #163.
I just made sure the proportions were correct before continuing.

Next is step 6 where I start to change the colour on the right, trying to get the same values or darkness as the purple was. The paint keeps changing colour as it dries so it may take a few tries.


You can see I added a fence that he always looked over. To get an idea of his size, I am 5'6" and I am about the height of the fence post. This is a typical picture I usually got when I went across the road to visit him. :)



Step 7 adds the barn in the top, right-hand corner and corrects the colours on the manure piles behind him. (They don't smell, they have been composting for a couple of years. It is what I put on the vegetables in my own garden. :)


You can see I lightened the colour on the right again but I'm not satisfied with the hue. I need to work on it.
More tomorrow.
