Graphite pencil. Although I have not had formal instruction on horses, I've learned a few things when studying Horse Anatomy
There are horses in specific areas that run free but it seems they have evolved into domesticated animals. There is so much History about Horses and so many variations. When running they are so fast and powerful with their manes flying. I have to admit I like to watch the horses run. I also have taken drives in rural areas to see them grazing. There is something so serene about them. Horse Art can be a serious subject matter. As part of my work with color I like to get creative with this subject matter and involve color for their form and sometimes use this in a dramatic way. Because there is so much form with a Horse's Anatomy it inspires me to find new ways to depict their shape and contour. I use color variation as well as complimentary colors. I feel that I can use my color ideas with the Horses Anatomy and be creative with it as well as involving the Lanscape. Because of this my Gallery has grown due to my
ideas.
I have also been working on Grayscale Artistry. When working with Color I have used variations of tones as in the Colorwheel. In Grayscale
there are tones of Gray which will include Black and White and everything in between, This can also be considered monochromatic which is variations of one color. In this case the one color is gray. My Grayscale Horses are done in Pastel. Variations in Color can be a little more complicated for me. I feel that Grayscale has been beneficial to my skill in depicting contouring. Horses have many muscular and skeletal contours which make it an ideal subject matter.
I also feel it is appropriate to place Horses separately from the other Animals.
