Thought I would work directly with a photographic image for this post. I used a phone app to alter these pictures for a more painterly, moody effect. I do work from photographs on occasion that I take here on the ranch and use them for inspiration or anatomical reference.
I interact with horses everyday and even with out visual reference I am forging the shape and movement of these wonderful beasts into my brain through spending time with them.

Can you see how this image would help with defining anatomy? I have used this head angle in my art work as I like it, and how the grainy texture could be interpreted as brush strokes.
