Four Horsemen

Trial Works for The 4 Horsemen

This project is currently on hold due to lack of time.

For a while now I've had a yen to paint a large version of the 4 Horsemen. With that in mind I've been completing some small trials depicting horses.

These images are probably best viewed at full screen, by pressing F11.

This first one was completed in mixed media, with an oil background and acrylic for the horse itself. It's painted on unstretched canvas sheet and is currently in my own collection.
It's now offered as an open edition print, on various papers and canvas, with choices of frame and matte if required from:

This is another from the series of small, mixed media studies that I'm completing in preparation for a larger painting of the Four Horsemen.
It's now offered as an open edition print, on various papers and canvas, with choices of frame and matte if required from:

In the next picture, I'm experimenting with ideas for portrayal of the horse ridden by Pestilence.
I'm trying to show the horse as having suffered damage and decay through association with its rider.

Although I personally prefer the colour values shown in the top picture, those in the image below are likely to be more appropriate for the final painting of this particular horse. We'll see, eh? :-)

All comments, ideas and suggestions are very welcome..:-)

Misty Livingstone's photograph, 'Gentle Gaze', was used as a reference in this one, to establish the overall outline of the horses head.
Thanks Misty! :-)

I'll probably release this series as Limited Edition ACEO's in the near future.. most likely limited to just nine prints of each.
Probably some Limited Edition Prints too..

This is a copy of the one above, with digital manipulation to experiment with a different selection of colour values.
It's obviously a lot quicker and less expensive to experiment with colour in this way..:-)
