Intermediate processes

Studying from life is one thing, and a very valuable one.  But making the leap from that to something deeper and more energetic is something else.  I am not suggesting that versions (4) and (5) are successful, but they  do tap into a different sort of energy, they "unlock" a deeper source.  I work very intuitively with the equestrian drawings, and find it hard to work out what I am doing and why some things work.  I caught myself in the process here.

2. My drawing/study  - quite free

3. Getting looser but still very related to original photo

4. A leap to something different and more expressive - working on cloth

5. Similar to 4
