Horse Portrait

Though they may all have four legs, Horses require a slightly different approach to Dog and Cat portraits due to the way their form affects the composition. I discovered this on a recent commission, hence the switch to a square background! This allows for a more well-balanced portrait, and allows the illustration a better fill of the page.

Even though the style is identical to my most detailed portrait style, I've created a new Commission Package especially for Horses so it's easy for owners or those looking to gift to browse examples most relevant to them. 

Hand-painted using Gouache and Indian ink for a highly pigmented, matte finish, on premium G.F. Smith 400gsm smooth natural white card.
