Art course, Tuscany with Barry Raybould. Sept 2013

I did another Art Course with Barry at his home in Licciana Nardi, North Tuscany.  We worked on how to do a project from beginning to end. There was a horse show going on over the weekend in the village so we went with our sketch books and camera and spent the day and evening there making notes. This is the picture I did, using my sketch and a photo.

I also played around with the picture above, looking at the negative spaces, I liked the squares in the negative spaces, and the right angles made by the riders and the horses necks.  In Bernard Dunstan's Composition book 'Composing your Painting'  which I am reading he mentions these right angles which add to a very interesting
composition.
