I have completed many horse portraits over the years but this one is unusual! With the grey coat and flowing mane on a midnight blue background, this portrait is very striking. The photographer of the reference photo is unknown but as soon as I saw this image I knew that it would make a beautiful painting.
I used, as always, soft pastel (for the background ) and a range of pastel pencils on Artspectrum Colourfix paper. The sharpened pencils create the detail and the background is blended using polystyrene sticks to give the three-dimensional effect to the completed painting.
This artwork has been much admired on social media and is the perfect size for your wall, with the painting being 11.5 inches wide and 15 inches high - in its white frame its dimensions are 18 inches by 22 inches.
