This week in art class: angry little ponies.

[bunn]

I met these angry little ponies last year on Dartmoor, they galloped straight past me, intent upon their argument, and I had a chance to take quite a few photos of them, so I used one of the photos to make this.  I changed the colours and textures of the background to make them stand out.


 Pp doesn't like the top bit, I think he feels its too abstract. I feel that it's OK because it's only there as a backdrop to the ponies.

I drew this quickly last night, and it is very small: Huan & Luthien.



I feel it's less atmospheric and more blodgy than I had hoped. I'm definitely better with acrylics, where you always have the option to correct a dodgy line, than watercolour and ink. Ah well.

I didn't realise the top bit was abstract -- I thought it was a sheer rock wall or something, like the ponies are grazing (or running, as the case may be) in an abandoned quarry! XD

I really like both of them! The Huan and Luthien one looks like stained glass.

The ponies are lovely, but I actually really love the second one, it's beautiful. It looks like an initial on an illuminated manuscript.

The ponies definitely have attitude.

But the Huan and Lúthien picture is flatly gorgeous.

Oh, I love those angry bum-biting little ponies!
