more in progress...

1. More charcoal is added. An eraser is used to blend and add texture.
2. Color is added. Watered down acrylic paint adds a little depth to the horse's coat
3. More acrylic paint is added for some background. I chose watered down cobalt blue. I love how it blends with the charcoal to add shapes and textures.

Final piece, coming up!

I love fast drying quality of acrylic paint. I tend to work quickly, and acrylic paint ensures that I don't have to wait too long to work between layers. The muse in my head can get captured before it gallops away....
