One big idea I learned from
Anne Blair Brown is the value of executing several studies - in several sizes and not necessarily in color. So I've been invited to paint for the poster for a steeplechase in the spring. I did make studies for this project, and now I have honed my idea down to only 3 horses. I want a definite feeling of motion and using diagonals could be the way to emphasize the speed.
I've also learned not to be afraid to scrape and start over - all of the painting or just parts. Very freeing.
the last photo is the latest study getting to the finishing stage - will it make the cut?
