A friend of mine showed me these amazing pictures in his sketchbook and I was amazed to find out that they were not washes. No. They were done with markers! I just had to try. These markers are a wonder. All the fun and depth of wash with out any of the mess. These were very fun pieces to do. Each Study was done quickly in a loose style, usually in one sitting.
One day I might have to paint Study #1 in pastel. I just love the energy of that piece. Study #3 captures the power and musculature of these wonderful animals. Look closely at Horse Study #4, you can see the braided tail. My horse expert friends correctly surmised this was based on a polo pony. I knew that (really).
ive been riding through the desert on a horse with no name...
