This is a painting I worked on whilst teaching a student, during a one to one painting session on my current painting techniques using acrylic paints. Really enjoyed painting this beautiful horse as there was a variety of bright colours involved in it's creation. I also showed my student how I used a palette knife to give me textures on the waters edge. I also found that as the colours are so rich, they really help one another to stand out against each other in the bright sunshine. Might return to doing more of these beautiful animals. This handsome chap is called Picasso, suitably apt name I thought. 

 
For the reference, I used a photo taken by the photographer John A. Wagner from Dinosaur, Colorado, who gave me his permission. Thanks John.
