| Three Horses / graphite on white sketching paper / approx 24x36 |
Trying to find a good composition for a possible painting I have in mind.. This is done on two pieces of 18x24 paper pushed together and is quite rough. You can see all the erasure marks and smudges all about the paper. But I am getting a feeling for where I want to go with this.
These are sensational, Susan! I am very keen to see what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteMe, too, Kathryn! I am still not sure - lots to mull over in my mind! Glad you are up and about again - I hope that means you are all better!
DeleteGetting better - not quite 100% yet.
DeleteOMG, incredible!Can´t wait to see a painting.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Maike!
DeleteThis looks like it's from the perspective of a jockey, having just fallen off! Yikes! Imagine that terrifying view, lol!
ReplyDeleteWow - your drawing is just amazing! :0)
Thanks, Sandra - thank goodness there are no fallen riders under these fellows! I can't even begin to imagine that fright!
DeleteYou must have an amazing knowledge of horses to get all this perspective and anatomy looking so good. What exciting sketches. I look forward to seeing the final piece.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Carolann. I hope you are not disappointed :O!
DeleteSorry to have kept missing your posts, Susan. I can see that I have missed some really exciting stuff.
ReplyDeleteThe angles/foreshortening and imagination with which you visualize such equine contortions and emotions, is little short of genius. I know something really 'big' will come out of these early works. I wait on the edge of my seat!
I hope so, John but I am nervous. My best paintings seem to be those that are more spontaneous and lack this amount of aforethought and preparation. I am still not sure what I will do but, in the meantime, these oil and pencil studies are quite fun!
DeleteI "feel" the movement on these horses, Susan. They're jumping right off the paper!!! I can't wait to see the paintings!!
ReplyDeleteI am trying to plan a multi-figure (equine) painting and hope I can bring it to reality. I am not sure and am still experimenting. Thank you for your confidence in me!
DeleteYou are a master at horse anatomy.I am in awe. Great drawings born from errors of course. That's how it goes.
ReplyDeleteI love horse anatomy and am fascinated by it. It's interesting to me how drawing the human figure and the portrait give me confidence in attempting these anatomical contortions!
