    Anatomically correct which is what the horsey set want and very moving. Good work

  • Nina SMART replied

    Thankyou. All that time, money and effort spent riding, training and competing horses when I was younger hopefully allows me to portray horses the way “horsey” people know horses.

    Wonderful work Nina! Love the looseness and delicate rendering of this one. Is there a watercolour wash underneath?

  • Nina SMART replied

    Thankyou Helen, yes the watercolour wash under the pastel was my sketch if you like. In order to keep the drawing fresh I didn’t use pencil to to render the basics just the watercolour to map out the basic form.
