you achieved the look you wanted, i think. it's a simple piece, but keeps the viewer looking at all the little marks for quite awhile

Ihan huijausta! Minäkin teen jonkun tämmösen mistä ei tunnista edes rotua kunnolla, kun tommosen kakkarodun valitsit... D; Sinällään hauska työ, mut ihan huijausta AC:n suhteen!

a) se on poni
b) se on roan
c) se on tiivis poni
d) sulla on jo paint-palomino.

_{(ja e) tee vaan, f) mistä muusta mun työstä muka tunnistaa rodun, jos haffua ei lasketa?)}

I really like the lines, no unnecessary detail, the head is especially nice. I have a question - are your canvases shop-bought or home-made? How do you stretch them because I have yet to really work it out for myself lol... I only use shop-bought ones (not creative enough to make my own) and I don't normally come across the problem of sagging canvas, but I did recently have one that had lost its tightness by the time I'd finished painting it. I don't understand this whole stretching thing, I just look at the frame and the little wooden stretcher things that come with it and it makes no sense to me.

My canvases are store-bought. I have yet to convince my dad to make frames for me. (I know they can be bought individually too, but it isn't really worth it out here with all the hassle.) This particular one was an old one and it somehow started to sag when I painted on it.

I'm going to use the little wooden things (wedges?) to get it tight again. My method is just to stick them into the little slots every which way they go (narrow end first) and then just pushing or gently hammering them deeper until the canvas is tight again. Usually I first check which direction the canvas has loosened and then wedge the frame either horizontally or vertically. A little bit at a time, from both sides if the sag is significant. If stretching the canvas just in one direction doesn't work out, then I try stretching it the other way until it is tight. Not very scientific, I admit, but hey, it works! I know sometimes you have to remove the canvas and staple the whole thing again, but luckily I haven't had to do it yet myself.

...
a) ei haittaa, koska se voi olla jopa 150 korkea.
b) no voi se kai sit kimokin olla.
c) ohan se lyhytselkänen ko mikä!
d) joo! Valmiiksi!
e) osaat osaat, teet, etkä mukise.
f) no ei mistään! SF, Camargue, KBP? a-l:t tulee ko kuivavat, että pääsen jatkaan.

Sitä paitsi mulla oli hieno Nooitgedacht-stoorikin! :ylpis:

... no. Mut silti! ;<

Okei oli hieno tarina

Well I'll have to try that next time. Thanks I know I tried pushing the little wooden thingies into the slots before but they didn't seem to fit. Maybe because it was a cheap canvas I tried it on.
