Step by Step - equine oil painting by Ivetta Harte, STEP 6

STEP 6

It's time to work on the middle ground. It'll be lighter and more detailed than the background. I'll lift the haze from it and give it some vibrant colors. As you can see, accidentally, I’m starting to smear wet oils on the painting with my hand - it's hard to paint above the wet paint, I have to hold my hand in the air, so I will not smear my hard work. I also started to paint the rider.
