This is one of my last commissioned pastel portraits for this year. Natalie is a norwegian trotter of quite a rare colour - she is very light. I photographed her myself, and worked both from one of the photos as well as from my memory to make it look just like her. I hope you enjoy this portrait!
the treatment of lights and shades... as also the details of tha few veins makes it incredible... and also the eye detail... magnificent... incredible

This is beautiful and so realistic! The eye is captivating, and the colors of her coat blend nicely. There's so much attention to detail, the veins in her face, her forelock, whiskers, and the fluffy hair in her ears. I also like the dark background. Lovely piece!
This is very very nice! I like all the deatils you'v put in it.
Which type of paper did you use? And is it soft pastels or oil? Just curius.
I'm no horse person, but I still think it is a beautiful animal.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on.
