Turpentine: planning a new one.
Below are three oil sketches outlining my current idea for the next picture. That’s a horse in the background (but you wouldn’t know it) clearly a need for some horse research. The idea stems from a conversation about a dog-cat relationship. The dog haunts the cat and I tried to use the analogy with a horse stalking a person to try to imagine how that cat feels about it.
There is about ten minutes in each sketch, using a quite a big brush- a No.8 round with a good tip on it. The bristles are very soft, but that’s ok with oil paint thinned so much with turps.
