Racing Horse Painting


This is a painting I did of a racing horse. I started with a charcoal drawing on the canvas (bottom picture).  I used the charcoal to find the shadow shapes, the shadow shapes to create a sense of volume. Once the shadow shapes are established it is than simple for me to paint on top focusing on color and paint application.
