"The farrier at work"


This is the under-painting for an oil painting on cavas mounted onto board. It is difficult to photograph oils because of the reflection. The best medium to photograph is gouache because the chalk in the pigment reduces the reflection of the flash. Even without the flash, the oil reflects. You can click on the image to enlarge it more, though there is no detail yet, only the large shapes so far, done in flat colors for a base.
