I am a Natural Freehand Artist, I completed my first oil painting at age 4 and you could actually tell exactly what everything was...and of course there was a horse in it :) I have been drawing and painting for 30 years now, but I also love sculpting. This wonderful hobby keeps my attention with so many amazingly of practice, experimentation, and research. My pieces are all done by hand in various mediums including oils, acrylics, pastels, colored pencils, and whatever else serves the needed purpose at the time. Sometimes I do airbrush a base color, but then everything else is done by hand... dapples, shading, dark points, mapping, white markings, ect. I start with a few coats of sandable grey primer to smooth the surface, then after that cures I spray white primer over it so I can get true rich color when I paint. I do not apply gesso with a brush as a primer because it can leave brush strokes in the finished piece. My horses are nice and smooth. I paint mainly with oils, applying layer upon layer of color for depth, richness, and vibrancy, but most of all...Realism. If you are looking for a Realistic, Unique, and Beautiful piece of Equine Art, you have found the right person to create it for you. If you want a cheap, common, and an OK Looking model, You will have to go elsewhere. |
