Having established the background and the main body shapes, my next step was to paint some more detail on the head. Using titanium buff I refined the shape of the head more. Then, using titanium white, I marked where the ears would be, the eye, and the top of the nose.
It's not very much in terms of quantity of paint put down, but the animal immediately 'reads' more real, like a horse rather than a sort-of-horse-like shape. There's one problem with the composition though, the tip of the one ear is touching where the land and sky meet, breaking the "No Kissing" painting composition rule.
