From emperors to jockeys, all were immortalized on horseback. Equestrian portraits are usually larger size, complex, and beautiful paintings. SmalI size paintings I usually execute in pastels, larger equestrian images are in acrylics, which can have the look of oils - a difficult technique I have mastered. Equestrian backgrounds are tonal, unless you specify a detailed background.

Lovers of whimsy: you can commission a fantasy portrait with a unicorn or a pegasus! You provide the photos of the rider and I provide the steed of your dreams. Why not?

EQUESTRIAN PORTRAITS.
PHOTO REFERENCE
I can create an equestrian portrait from either a single good color photo of the rider on horseback or separate photos of a person and of a horse, AS LONG AS THEY FACE THE SAME DIRECTION. Preferably, the person should be photographed straddling something as though on horseback. If that is not possible I can, with extra work, adjust the rider's position to fit the horse. If no color photos are available , send any color images as reference for the rider and the horse. Backgrounds are generalized and tonal unless you make a specific request. If you need trees, meadows, a stable or racing track send pertinent images for reference.
