Horses At Sunset
This Horses At Sunset artwork was originally conceived as a composite of four separate sketches. The composite was then drawn over with a stylus using very fine vectorised real oil strokes as the brush set.
I wanted to convey a physical dynamism and almost tactile sense of movement so drew the horses running through water. The displacement of water is a rather obvious, almost cliché choice, however, a very effective one. The obscured sunset was for dramatic purposes as it allowed me to overemphasis the contrast on the horses which adds a flair of the dramatic to the whole piece.
This piece is A3 (11.7" x 16.5" / 297mm x 420mm) in size with the mount and frame additional to these dimensions making the final piece larger overall by approximately 6" on each axis (approx. as the framing for each instance is bespoke and therefore unique).
