Weston Super Mare Museum

I had piece of hardboard, that was perfect for the sustain exhibition. I am going to run out of left overs from our DIY projects soon. I used water-based oil paints, mainly yellow ochre, raw umber, burnt sienna, red ochre for my pallette.

I hid myself away in the summer house and over the process of a few days managed to paint my Exmoor Pony. I chose the Exmoor Pony for various reasons, they are used in by Natural England in conservation projects and the are one of Britains Rare Native Breeds.

I took the perspex out of the picture frame and mounted using some number plate tape which was in the garage. The perspex will be used to replace broken glass in a couple of photo frames that have suffered minor falls.

I loved working on this little picture, I completely lost the track of time when painting and I loved seeing it on display in a public place.
