| Horse by G. Seurat |
Came upon Georges Seurat drawings at MOMA, way back in 2007. His technique has influence my drawing ever since. Painterly drawings with subtle shadings of tones, indicating at the same time form, light & space; thru the use of conte crayon over texture paper.
These handmade watercolor paper has been sitting in my closet for 20 years. The texture is all wrong for my watercolor style. But the weave of the paper is just right for this conte drawing!
It's open studio time! It seems there's a different art tour happening every weekend. I wonder if artists will out number farmers eventually, in my area. This gallery at Rosemary Farm is most interesting. You just have to look out the window & see the artist's inspirations. This horse sanctuary is started by one little artist, she's doing some amazing things!
My training in illustration gives me the skill to paint anything in a realistic way, in the comfort of my studio.
I also enjoy my detours into artistic investigation with landscapes. With each canvas, one sought to capture one glorious inspirational moment. |

My horse reference came from my visits to ROSEMARY FARM, a local horse sanctuary that's in my backyard.
The best part of photoshop is that I can combine my fine art onto my illustrations. I can create as many new designs as I want from a few vignettes. Click HERE, to see more equestrian designs from one painted horse.
