Advice from Artist

As a novice, I am always very grateful to receive advice from more experienced artists... I am still a learner. So one day, I wandered into the Taylor Galleries at Summer Hill to view some nice pastel pieces. Assisting for the day was a woman artist whom I conversed with. I showed her some of my art on my phone camera and she gave me some advice. She said that the pastel I did of the girls on ponies were good but I had to be more careful of my background. The window at the back of the stable was too bright and detracted from the figures. With that piece of advice, I went home and toned down the window. Here is the before and after. I believe she was right!
