This current work-in-progress will eventually depict two black horses, and is once again inspired by the wild horses of Wyoming. The image shows the early stages of my layering with colored pencil. As with my most recent equine drawing, I am putting down a grisaille using the range of
Prismacolor french greys (except for the muzzle), in order to establish the shapes and some of the values. There is much ground to cover yet: for perspective, this horse head is nearly 20 inches high.
With this piece, one of my goals is to retain and lead the viewer's eye through the particular -- though subtle -- use of color. As the work progresses, I will be able to explain more specifically what I mean by this - and what it is I am attempting to accomplish.
As always, thanks for stopping in. : )
