Wow! Such talent.

From the YouTube site:

A time lapse film of my painting of Cara, a beautiful black mare. I made it using pastels and pastel pencils (all brands) on sanded paper (Fisher 400). This was a commission for Cara's owner, and the painting is about 16x12". I hope you enjoy watching. To answer the FAQs that I usually get: This painting took about 10 hours work. I took my own photos of Cara to use as references. I don't use water or any fluids. The background is in soft pastel sticks, the 'brush' looking thing I use on it at the start is a silicon 'colour shaper' tool: it blends the colours. The horse is underpainted with Derwent (firm) pastel sticks and then worked up with pastel pencils.
