The Beauty, Power and Elegance of the Horse April 7 and April 14
About this event
The Beauty, Power & Elegance of the Horse
In this two-session workshop, we’ll explore the beauty, power and elegance of the horse -from careful study to a finished painting. We’ll begin with pencil sketches capturing the essential connections of form. These drawings will lead us into a deeper understanding of equine anatomy. Beginning with the second session we will bring the horse to life in paint. Starting with an abstract underpainting and as the image emerges, we will refine it with impressionistic brushwork -suggesting form and energy without overworking the details.

Here's what a past student has to say:
I will schedule horse render courses with You in the future…why? Because it’s certainly the most difficult animal to draw and you instruct so technically it enables the student to draw a horse thus it becomes approachable and almost easy…
Also the way you showed us how to lay down oil paint - technique was a game changer…the second day of the class.
