I was thrilled when I had the opportunity to draw a group horse portrait. Since the owner knew that this portrait would involve quite a bit of work and planning to complete, I was lucky to receive this commission well in advance of the target date, having over 1 year to finish it. With well over 150 reference photos to work with, narrowing down to the perfect pose for each horse was quite a task, let alone placing them all together on a portrait. I was fortunate enough to have the horses co-operate in having their photo taken as a group (and individually) as they were standing all lined up along a fence. The main reference pose was created by patching sections of the group together to form the portrait layout. I then used several individual close-up photographs of each horse to help draw the fine details of each horse.
