im a self taught artist from sussex, i paint wild life and landscapes, and for some reason or another im having a moment of painting horses.

today i painted a horse, again it looked like what can only be said to be a cross between a donkey and a dragon, yes it was that bad.
i find horses difficult to draw because they have a complex face.
the muscle structure differs from most animals, with most animals you have the pleasure of fur or feathers which means in not so many words you can cheat.
you cant do that with horses i have now found.
the other problem is the colour, it tends to be one colour so again you have to know the biology of the way the horse moves, they isnt any point just making it up, because it just looks odd.
bit like the human face, have an eye a millimeter higher that it should be and odd comes into affect.

if horses had feathers im sure i could get it.
