| Unpacking the Horses Acrylic on masonite, 7x5 |
Yesterday’s block in was the hardest one yet, but today I’ve turned a corner. This block in seemed to unfold in such a natural way. It was another complicated composition, and this time, I started with the mass of the dark horse and rider, and treated them as one. As their angles came together, I connected the masses of the other two white horses. I considered changing the color of the right one, since white is a questionable color to have going off the edge, but I liked the color - and kept it. I simply grayed it down, so the bright white would not lead the eye right off the panel. The landscapes were also a little awkward in acrylic at first (since I always use oils en plein air), but I am also getting more comfortable with them. I am trying to paint multiple figures each day, all month long, and then see how far I’ve come by month’s end. Just imagine if I can squeeze in 100 figures this month - what a long was that will go towards improving my skills! Painting number 1166 in 1166 days.
