BROWNLAND'S MISS MARTHA In the first stage I start with visiting the horse and rider to get a feel for character and personality. I use this time to get some really good photographs of the horse and rider. After choosing the best photo, I begin my preliminary sketch of stage one to secure likeness and proportion. The first stage is an accurate anatomicle drawing of the horse and rider to balance proportion. I begin to study color and likenes, then add an acrylic wash to seal in the drawing as I start to build the airbrushing of the background. Then begins the work on the body of the horse with base color and adding muscle structure and tone.
