Original Creation

Just a Horse

Lzicchinella 14 Mar 2021

I have a newfound respect for people who paint animals and people with such detail as it takes a lot of time and concentration. I wanted to try something different so I figured I would give this horse a try. Was trying to concentrate on practicing values and color tones here. I don’t think it’s too bad for my first go. 16x20 canvas

Nicely done, I like the small detail in the fence shadow

Wow. Amazingly done and your horse is just beautiful. Great depth. I think I can just reach out and touch him.

Super! You did a great job! Horse looks very real! Incredibly well done: the shine on the “fur”, face, color selection!

A superb creation!
The horse is practically breathing and its colours and shadows are so realistic. That shy background really brings out the animal and the fence!
GREAT painting!

Thank you everyone for all the words of encouragement!

Beautiful!! I'm currently painting my first horse and rider and it is DIFFICULT. Great job here 👏

It’s a great first horse! Colors, shadows and distance look good. I’ve never spent time with a horse but have wanted to paint one. I can see what a huge effort it is.
