Limited to 12, participants will discover techniques for painting the horse quickly and fluidly from life. We will observe effects of how sunlight affects the coat, overcome the difficulties of painting a moving subject and coping with the problems inherent in painting outdoors. Daily demonstrations will focus on painting the horse, beginning with emphasis on major compositional shapes. I will guide the students through application of value and color in rapidly changing light and movement. Students will be guided through the process of observing, painting and learning from wild horses to enrich studio work.

Included in the workshop is a session on photographing wild horses for effective reference material, with Meredith Hudes-Lowder of Equus ferus Wild Horse Photography. Techniques will cover making the best of the light source, point of view and perspective, composition and discussion on editing programs. Tips on making the most out of your field experience will be provided.
Each student will receive a reference packet featuring painting and photography information. Demonstrations and individual attention will be provided.
