This pretty young Arabian was my first attempt at a grisaille oil painting, a new technique for me; I hope to produce lots more of my paintings in this way as it really suited my way of working.
Young Arabian belongs to the following groups:
Akhal-Tekes, Arabs & Thoroughbreds, British Painters, Decorative and Traditional Art, Equine Art and Photography, Fine Arts, Oil Painting, Painted Animals! , Painters In Modern Times - TWO PER DAY, Pets and People, Realist Traditional Art, Simply Horses, The true beauty and Traditional Equine Art: Horses, Ponies, and Unicorns!

You are a truly talented artist Laura. This is a stunning piece in every respect. I thought I has come across it all but grisaille has me stumped – perhaps a makers name? You’ve inspire me to give it a try.
Laura Barber-R... replied
Thank you Brian! Grisaille is a method in which you complete a very detailed monochrome underpainting onto which thin transparent glazes of colour are applied over the top. I really enjoyed working in this way :-)

Very Elegant horse!

Thank you! The painting is based on a young Crabbet Arab I saw competing in hand at a local horse show this summer, he was a beautiful creature!
