Wet panel box and rejoneador



I went up to the studio today to do a couple of things. Firstly to get some pochade box boards ready for painting on (just needed to stain them) and secondly to attempt to make a wet panel box to put the said boards into once they have been painted on. Well, it was my first attempt at making anything like this and I am not good at any sort of woodwork but I think this one will suffice for a start. The next one I make (as I think this one will fall apart at some time or another!) I will do differently - they say you learn from your mistakes.
I did some more of the rejoneador too, I couldn't finish him off because I needed the other 2 there to match up where the ground ends and of course I forgot to take them with me.
These 3 rejoneador drawings have been a bit harder than most that I do because not only am I coping with the different tonal values of the semi-dappled horse in the sunlight and in the shaded areas but I have had to deal with the reflective light for example on the underside of the horses belly. It has been quite a challenge to still (hopefully) get the feeling of roundness and 3D effect. Hope to get this finished soon.... need to move onto something else now.  //
 Fui hasta el estudio de hoy para hacer un par de cosas. En primer lugar para obtener algunos consejos caja pochade listo para pintaren (sólo necesario para manchas) y en segundo lugar para tratar de hacer una caja de control de humedad para poner las tablas endicho una vez que han sido pintados. Bueno, fue mi primer intento de hacer algo como esto y yo no soy bueno en cualquier tipo de madera, pero creo que esto será suficiente para empezar. El siguiente que hago como yo creo que uno se derrumba en un momento u otro) voy a hacer de manera diferente - ellos dicen que usted aprende de sus errores.
He hecho un poco más del rejoneador también, no podía acabar con él porque necesitaba los otros 2 no hacer coincidir en que la tierra termina y por supuesto me olvidé de llevar conmigo.
Estos tres dibujos rejoneador haber sido un poco más difícil que la mayoría de lo que hago, porque no sólo estoy para hacer frente alos diferentes valores tonales de los caballos semi-moteada por el sol y en las zonas de sombra, pero he tenido que hacer frente a la luz reflejada por ejemplo en la parte inferior del vientre caballos. Ha sido todo un reto todavía (espero) la sensación de redondez y el efecto 3D. La esperanza de conseguir este acabado pronto ....necesidad de pasar a otra cosa ahora.

    1. Hi Stephanie, do have a go at making one, it really was quite simple! Having said in my post that I thought it would fall apart .... actually, it has been really sturdy and been in hold luggage 2 or 3 times to spain and back, all over the UK and is still in one piece. I just used some really strong glue to hold it all together! Seems to be ok.. Let me know if you have a go!
