In this graphite picture of horses playing, I wanted to showcase the dynamic nature of these animals. The fluidity of graphite allows for smooth transitions between light and dark shades, allowing the the movement and energy of the horses to be captured. The graphite medium also lends a certain softness and depth to the artwork, creating a sense of realism that draws the viewer into the scene.

Graphite as a medium for capturing the energy of horses

Graphite, with its smooth texture and ability to create a range of shades, is an ideal medium for capturing the energy and spirit of horses. Graphite and charcoal pencils are fantastic for creating different effects, from light and delicate strokes to bold and dramatic lines. I use Derwent pencils, they are high quality and have a superb range to choose from or select your own personalised collection of whichever Derwent pencils you want with their “Build your own tin” option!
