Trees and crowds!

A layer of thin paint has been applied with a fan brush for the trees and I have put in the crowd. I have done this quite detailed, but I am only doing this one layer, hoping that when the horse is complete it will sing out. I also want to signify the hustle and bustle (and all the colours!) which I love about the ref picture. The colour is bleached on the left hand side of the photo it is much more balanced in life!

It took me about 5 hours to do this much today EEK!
