Horses tend to feature high on any list of most popular animals, usually just behind dogs and cats. And no wonder. Our relationship with them goes back for many thousands of years. Horses were first domesticated in Asia between 3000 and 4000 BC. Back then, horses were used mostly for milk and meat, before being used as the powerhouse for agriculture and transport for adventurers through the centuries.

But how do you capture their beauty, strength and spirit without rendering every hair?

In this course you will learn the techniques and approach to painting horses in loose and lively watercolour. We will work together step by step in a full-length demonstration of this equine portrait.
