Every balanced classical art education is made more complete with the addition of a closer look into understanding and painting animals. In this first lesson, Jessica instructs on the foundation on understanding equine anatomy. The horse’s structure is very similar to many four-legged animals, and is a logical place to start. The first lesson is a drawing exercise analyzing the physical structure of the horse.

Instructor, Susie Gordon, leads us in this second lesson in understanding the horse. Susie’s gentle way of teaching and excellent advice are a wonderful approach to further grasping the discipline of equine art. Follow along with Susie as she demonstrates capturing the drawing of a horse from life, then begins the process of painting the horse on canvas. Throughout the video are other examples of Susie’s excellent work.
