Arabian Desert

Description

I wanted to paint something traditional and use lots of colour. Since I've been painting far too many Akhal Teke lately, I decided to pick a different desert horse this time: the Arab.

No references that I recall, painted from memory.
Approx. 11 by 18" on magnani 91lb fine paper. Mixed media (amongst conté, winsor & newton soft pastel, faber-castell willow charcoal). 1.5 hours solid.

Original may be for sale. Prints by inquiry. Contact me if you're interested.

he looks part of the desert itself... like he's just risen up from the sand. great choice of fiery colours for a flightly temperamental beast. I love these pieces where you can just let loose and have fun with the colour, I tried to paint one last night but I obviously wasn't in the right frame of mind because it was not a success. LOL
