Pencil Drawings Of Horses Biography
I am South African born and have lived and traveled in a variety of countries from Asia to the Americas during the past 10 years as an English teacher. Recently I decided to pursue my passion for working with horses by going to the USA to study with Monty Roberts. Currently I am based in Namibia am working at establishing myself here as a natural horsemanship trainer and graphite pencil artist.
In this step by step tutorial, Janet Griffin-Scott takes you through the stages of creating a beautiful horse portrait drawing in colored pencil, from the outline through building tones and textures. Janet has drawn an outstanding Warmblood hunter horse for this lesson. By adapting the color choices appropriately, you can also modify the steps to create a picture of your own horse. Because of differences in colored pencil brands, Janet isn't always too exact about naming the colors, and of course they look different on different screens too, so just use whatever seems like the closest choice from your own selection of colors.

The artwork of Virgil Stephens ranges from dramatic black and white pencil drawings to delicately hued western paintings with a few whimsical musical paintings thrown in to reflect and express his own life experiences.
Growing up on ranches in and around Globe, Arizona, Virgil spent most of his spare time drawing what life presented him. From his earliest doodling to his current pencil drawing, conte drawing, oils and bronzes he recorded the scenes both poignantly mundane and sublimely humorous that represent the richness of ranch life in America.
Raising a family didn't afford the possibility of taking classes, so Virgil started reading books and studying paintings by famous artist and well known teachers in his spare time. Common sense convinced him the high cost of canvas and paint was money better spent elsewhere and he eventually wound up with a pencil in his hand and spent the early part of his career concentrating on fine pencil drawings.
Virgil was born with an ability to look at things more closely than his friends did, and growing up around, on top of and under horses, calves, ponies, chickens, pups and kittens, and a plethora of other non-descript mammals & unidentifiable insects, allowed him to store up details about anatomy that were more accurate than any information obtained from books.
His family processed their own meat and poultry, and he was weaned on cows milk straight from the udder and strained through a part of the screen left over from the back porch door. Deer and elk were plentiful and there was never a shortage of venison in the freezer. There were many times when saddling up to gather cattle, Virgil would stuff a camera in the saddle bags along with a can of Vienna sausages and a roll of T.P. so as not to miss an opportunity to capture a Kodak moment whenever the chance afforded itself.
