So this is the first of a series of drawings and paintings on horses called "Horsemotions". It will feature the character, movement, and general well being of these fantastic creatures.
I have done this one by ghosting the sepia dust to form the background, then I have sketched and shaded with graphite, carbon pencils and added a little white gouache for highlights I couldn't get with my putty rubber.
You have really caught the power and slow movement of a heavy Shire horse.

ReplyDeleteOh, I like this. These horses look very sturdy, and the colors compliment them very well.
ReplyDeleteThnaks Rob!
ReplyDeleteWow! It's cool! I love the motion of a horse depicted in three stages. Wonderful drawings, as always!
ReplyDeleteThanks Akiko!
ReplyDeleteWhat I love about it, is the progression from not so defined to strong with definition, isn't it how we look at life when we pause to pay attention and Sanguine complements it so well.( Also Sanguine translated is bloodied) pertetual movement of the strong horse give us hope and power, something to meditate upon.
ReplyDeleteI love this piece, wonderful.
Hmmmm this is so powerful, I have never thought about this in this way!
ReplyDeleteYou have really made a SOLID ANALYSIS that make me almost quake where I sit. I like that sanguine bloodied bit!
