Blue and Brown Series: Black Stallion

Acrylic inks on Two Rivers hand-pressed paper. 

I’ve been asked by a couple of customers if I do horses and so I've created a few. Here is this beautiful black stallion in the lovely, animated position ready to take off. I really enjoyed the challenge of creating the horse’s shimmering body. I've used different shades of blue here to show the sinews and muscles of the horse. The background was made specifically to compliment the create with its strong colour and movement of the splashes. I've used some gold to add a little contrast and so it shimmers in different lights.
