Hi Penny, Thank you for all your comments on my work , i am still very much working on watercolour , its a funny medium , somedays it will work and others you just have to start again …..the foal by the way was born to an Anglo Arab but I think the father was an Irish Draught…..I used to have a part Hanovarian/Irish Draught , but he was piebald ? never did work that one out as I bought him from a dealer at 5 mnths old , will find some pics for you …........what horse do you have ? Do you draw with solid graphite to get the dark colour , its very photogenic. I am really a frustrated artist at heart and easily get down when things dont go right , trying to market myself at the moment , have sold a couple but not enough to make a living , how about yourself ?
Thanks for your reply! I have two horses-one is a standardbred mare, and the other is a stockhorse/quarterhorse. As for what I draw with, I use plain old derwent graphite pencils. Getting frustrated??? Don’t I know your anguish! There are days when I just stare at a blank piece of paper, getting angry at myself because I have a million things I want to draw, but nothing’s coming out! I have never tried to sell my art before…most of the time I give it away to friends etc.
Beautiful portrait, the shading shows off the conformation well! One of my mares is very ill and sadly will soon leave us, I’d love a portrait of her in this style!
Thankyou so much Julie! It’s so sad when you know you are going to lose a precious friend….it broke my heart when I had to put my horse down! I can do a portrait of your girl if you would like! My email address is: jpedwardes@activ8.net.au Just drop me a line and we can go from there! Thanks again Julie :)
A lot of comments already but I have to say that these are some of the best animal drawings I have seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pretty as they are though, maybe your avatar could show the real you?
Oh my…..this portrait is A-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y AMAZING!!! The light and dark shades are perfect. Soft yet showing muscle tone. The detail of the bridle is stunning. I love it.
