Horses and Heather in the New Forest

Horses and Heather in the New Forest

This painting is done in oils on a 20” x 16” canvas board during early September 2014. Pictured are some horses standing amongst a clearing with few trees, and lots of purple heather on the ground, during late summer. The location is about a mile away from Lyndhurst, a small town considered the gateway to the New Forest in Hampshire, UK. The forest sees many horses wandering around it but in this case the horses were added to the scene. They were seen on the same day but in a different location not too far away.

This image shows a work in progress of a painting featuring some horses standing on heathland in the New Forest, Hampshire, near to the town of Lyndhurst. The painting is done in oils on a canvas board measuring 20" X 16".
The fist stage shows the drawing, done in brown acrylic paint on a red ground. I have made it B/W here for clarity. The second panel shows a rough acrylic layer where the basic colours, main dark in tone have been placed. The final panel shows the finished oil painting.
The horses were not at the scene. I added them for extra interest.
