“Peanut Rearing,” 21″ x 29″ pencil heightened with gouache. SOLD.
I often travel with paper taped on boards so that if I see a scene I can stop and sketch it on one such day I saw this white horse prancing in the field it would rear up and Paul the air and then prints around I got out and went up to sketch the animal and is accommodated me by rearing up whenever I’d rear my hands up the drawing was of course very loose to the point of wildness. When I took it back to the studio I decided to heighten the picture with gouache a technique that was very popular in the Renaissance.
