First, I am starting out with a simple contour drawing of some horses.
As you can see, these studies are rather small, however you can use your imagination the possibility of a far larger image.
I took the image into photoshop and added some features, which I could easily replicate in a real painting, such as a hue/ tint, and some texturing and boarder treatment. The geometric design is visually rather intense to look at. The shading is just to give a little more definition to the contours of the horses. I am thinking,,, 5x7 feet would look really cool.
But, the next step this week is to complete two small test paintings using gold leaf, and acrylic glazes to build up a deep tint. The drawings and photoshop can only take me so far. I think the time has come to take my visual theories closer to visual reality with a few smaller runs.
