\"Favourite<\/p>\n

For those of you who are new to my blog, I started an \u201cArt Challenge\u201d (read here about it<\/a>) a few weeks ago and I haven\u2019t had any time to work on art since Project One<\/a>. But I finally made the time a couple days ago and was able to start and complete my fastest painting in just one evening.<\/p>\n

I’ve always loved animals and I really have more than one favourite. Lions and tigers are my ultimate favourite, but I don\u2019t really know to go about painting them yet\u2026I like cats, rabbits, penguins, and elephants, so it was hard to choose. Then I decided….a horse.<\/p>\n

The funny thing is I have never cared much about horses, until I had the opportunity from a friend (who teaches English riding) to give me a lesson. It was then I fell in love. I had never really ridden before, just a couple walks around the yard with a neighbour\u2019s horse type of thing, but this experience… it was magical! I loved the English riding\u2026it was so graceful, beautiful, and so much more of an art compared to Western riding. I even got to take a jump\u2026which felt like flying. Anyway, if I had the money, time, and stayed at home more it would be something I\u2019d love to get in to.<\/p>\n

So for my \u201cFavourite Animal\u201d project this is what I did.<\/p>\n

\"Project<\/p>\n

\"Project<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not perfect, but I\u2019m pretty happy with it because I’ve never actually even drawn a horse before, let alone painted one. Painting or drawing horses have been of my \u201cart fears\u201d. I did it anyway.<\/p>\n

This painting is more folksy, a style which I haven\u2019t dabble in much. Since I’m very new to this whole painting\/drawing thing, I\u2019m still trying to discover my signature style. Because of that fact, I’ve been trying so many different types of art to see what I love best and then taken a little bit from each style..modern, realistic, cartoon, manga, impressionistic\u2026it\u2019s been a fun adventure…that I think is just beginning.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure when I will post my Project Three (which is my favourite food…take a guess as to what that is!), but one thing\u2019s for sure\u2026I\u2019ll have a recipe for it!<\/p>\n

Do you have a favourite animal? What style of art do you enjoy?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
