STEP ONE
The initial block in. Just the most basic lines. This is only to position them on the canvas. No details. Drawing will be adjusted and corrected as I move through the painting.
Light Red and Ultramarine Blue in a thin line for the outline.
STEP TWO
Here I block in the darkest darks of the horses in shadow; and the cast shadows on the ground. By getting these important tones in first, I immediately set the lighting direction.
Light Red and Ultramarine for the horses; Ultramarine, Golden Yellow and Light Red for the cast shadows.

This multi-talented Australian lady has nurtured her love for art and music by travelling all over our magnificent country while promoting her creative work.
I Love Drawing
In Derek’s own words: “Drawing gives you freedom to roam. A pencil and pad is all you need, and you can lean against a wall, in a pub, on a train, you can always draw.”
Ludij Peden: Queen Of The Rusty Iron
Born in Amsterdam in the Netherlands and raised in Cairns in Far North Queensland, Ludij Peden has seen her share of contrasts during her life’s journey.
It's MY Turn
Being a teacher, mother, business woman and active community member wasn’t enough for this artist, who decided that she also needed to follow her artistic ambitions.
Thistle Patch – Freemans Reach
The reference photograph for this painting was selected because the artist really liked the light, the old sheds, and the interesting foreground with the thistles and weeds.
Drawn into Art

Sketching And Painting In Paradise
Paradise conjures up clear azure skies, white fluffy clouds bouncing along on a warm tropical breeze, swaying palm trees on white sandy beaches, and a serene and relaxing ambience.
The Vase of Flowers
The roses are beautifully brought to life in this painting.
My Creative Nature
An online ‘love affair’ with coloured pencil artworks was just the beginning. After developing a website to meet with similar minded people, this artist is now in the final stages of launching her first online coloured pencil classes.
