Black Mare in Violet

[blackmare]

It’s been a while since I posted anything, so, here’s one painting I’ve done since then. 12x16”, water-soluble oils on linen canvas. I used a reference photo I snapped, of a Friesian-cross mare who belongs to some friends of mine.

I’m really liking water-soluble oils; the ones I used for this are Winsor-Newton’s “Artisan” line, which are crazy affordable at Blick. Anyone who thinks they’d like to try oil paints but not like to breathe fumes from turpentine or mineral spirits, these are a great way to go.
