Back in my tole painting days, horses were a common subject for they went well with the folk-art themes. The process starts with a sketch followed by blocking in the underlay colors. I chose a pallet of hues and mopped them around to create the basic shape of the subject. Darker tones where the shadows will go and lighter in the areas with highlights to bring out the contours of the shape.

Digital paint is applied in multiple layers. This comes in handy when edits (oh shits) need to be corrected or deleted and the opacity of each layer, along with its blending style, can vary from one to another. I enjoy painting the eyes because they tend to bring a subject to life so I save them for the last step in my sessions.

Thanks, Curmudgeon. My goal (at least for now) is to create something every day.

Thanks, Kpmac. Painting with a computer is by far easier, and much faster, than painting with conventional media.
