After Munnings 2

Since we're on the subject of studies, here's the other study I did of the same Sir Alfred Munnings painting as yesterday,minus the lady with the sidesaddle riding him. As I said,I like to mix it up, not doing the same painting but trying the palette, brushstrokes, lighting. On this painting, I changed the background, too. It's educational, and a lot of fun, too.

After Munnings

Periodically, I try my hand at doing a study from one of the masters of equine art, in this case Sir Alfred Munnings. It is illuminating, challenging work to get into the mind, palette and technique of someone whose work is so loose and masterful. Of course, I change it up a bit, in this case, I did a close up of the woman. I love the sidesaddle, linen coat and the hat, you don't see that around here unless it's Derby Day, and then not horseback!
