With "How to paint horses" no longer forefront in my mind, I could explore other media, leave stuff out, and use more creative, spontaneous design elements to enhance my ideas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564611a4e4b02e2863f16c1c/1449370274823-EDXQU5F0Z7YDFYJ525L4/image-asset.jpeg Lessons Key #2 - 8. The Visual Language Of Art : Developing Personal Content & Style – Part 1 Kenada Song by Lesley Humphrey. At a major exhibition, my painting was showcased in a very prominent position, behind the podium. I overhead an "expert" saying "I cannot see what they like about this artist. He is far too loose to be considered a proper sporting art painter." (They always think I'm a male) Needless to say, I ran out and never came back. Being even just "a little different" can be painful at times. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564611a4e4b02e2863f16c1c/1449370303884-S84BRYYL4U18GYD4AN2R/image-asset.jpeg Lessons Key #2 - 8.

An Arabic gentleman visiting the Kentucky Horse Park was offended by this piece. Perhaps he sensed that this painting is not about hunting or huntsman. Hunting imagery is used as metaphor for the underlying idea which is also hinted at in selection of colors, placement, etc. https://www.lesleyhumphrey.net/lessons-key2-energy/developing-personal-content-and-style-part-2 monthly 0.5 2018-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564611a4e4b02e2863f16c1c/1449371115544-MUZ6B1TW22016GW7116U/image-asset.jpeg Lessons Key #2 - 9.

How To Paint Horses Part 1 : The Basics & Measurements HOMEWORK – BRIDLE LENGTHS & FACE WIDTHS: The blue lines are bridle lengths. These are measurements taken from the poll (top of horse’s head, between the ears) to where the corner of the horse’s mouth appears, and where the bit is inserted. This is the length of the bridle, and so I call it the ‘bridle length’. The red dashes are ‘face-widths’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564611a4e4b02e2863f16c1c/1449082609568-LWL2Z7M13FTTD838LTQU/image-asset.png Lessons Key #1 - 8.

How To Paint Horses Part 2 : Basic Horse Painting Step-By-Step Shadow illumination automatically creates the correct hue and shade, once you get used to it. Once this is done, I suggest you re-set the voids/cracks/crevices/where light don’t hit shadows, which will bring clarity back. (Often lost when shadow is illuminated) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564611a4e4b02e2863f16c1c/1449084407286-JF99UQXSTK9MABXI55B4/image-asset.jpeg Lessons Key #1 - 9. How To Paint Horses Part 2 : Basic Horse Painting Step-By-Step Reflected Color…Notice that ‘horse color’ is now in the background, and you can find cool hues from the background reflected into the horse’s flanks. I call this “value-grouping” the color. You simply have to ensure that the colors you reflect, as one object affects the other in its environment, is the same “value” as the plane/shape upon which it falls. Remember, it should always be in the shadow, since the planes in full light will bleach-out and override these lovely reflected colors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564611a4e4b02e2863f16c1c/1449084424180-T8EC51UCHRHE3FVO1N81/image-asset.jpeg Lessons Key #1 - 9.

Knowledge : People Painting : Female Face Oil Demo – Part 2 Light 4, Local Color on Skull Band: The skull is so close to the surface here, that skin tones appear more yellow, so I add yellow to the mix when laying down the local color for brow area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564611a4e4b02e2863f16c1c/1449169446749-9ZLC5QGWX2MOGM0X4PYI/image-asset.jpeg Lessons Key #1 - 12. Knowledge : People Painting : Female Face Oil Demo – Part 2 Light 4, Local Color on Muzzle Band: Due to excessive hair follicles, (even on the female), and the fact that the the lower part of the face receives less sun, the muzzle band is always cooler. I scantly add blue and green to the skin tone puddles for the muzzle band local color. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564611a4e4b02e2863f16c1c/1449169469328-67QEO1RNNKQPNMZM9EAN/image-asset.jpeg Lessons Key #1 - 12. Knowledge : People Painting : Female Face Oil Demo – Part 2 Light 5, Higher Lights: Coming up the ladder of heat and light, I create warmer, cleaner, brighter, incrementally smaller planes as they approach the light source.

Knowledge : People Painting : Female Face Oil Demo – Part 2 Light 7, Shadow Illumination: By carefully, scantily applying the same skin tone mixtures into the appropriate bands, right into the shadow plane (WLDH) mixtures, shadow illumination is created. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564611a4e4b02e2863f16c1c/1449169527611-880J63V84H4L7S0UHIJP/image-asset.jpeg Lessons Key #1 - 12. Knowledge : People Painting : Female Face Oil Demo – Part 2 Adding layers of illumination in the shadow side. (Take care not to make them as light as the WLH light planes). Then, using a pure, clean and warm red, I placed a “bridge” between the kingdom of shadow, and the kingdome of light. (Check basic red ball exercise for further explanation) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564611a4e4b02e2863f16c1c/1449169542712-9Q8PF4M1ZZYD8HB7BXGP/image-asset.jpeg Lessons Key #1 - 12.

Knowledge : People Painting : Female Face Oil Demo – Part 2 Light 8, Reflected Color: When brightly colored, well-illuminated objects reflect light into the shadow planes, they may not only send light, but also color. I created reflected color by applying cool, blue colors (the same value as the shadow plane upon which they fell). (Again, check ’12 lights’ lesson for better explanation of this.) They are too weak to show upon strongly lit planes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564611a4e4b02e2863f16c1c/1449169586774-8UVYSQEEAIBWCPM9FA8Z/image-asset.jpeg Lessons Key #1 - 12.

I really enjoyed it and I believe it represents me tentatively stepping into painting again. https://www.lesleyhumphrey.net/featured-gallery-2 daily 0.75 2026-03-01

acrylic sketch by Lesley Humphrey Following visit to the First Americans Museum in Oklahoma City and the Hopi Reservations in Arizona, it’s hard to put into words, but I have been transformed by what I have learned. I want them to hold their heads up, rise up, BE renewed in all their understanding and spiritual power. This is about a one-hour rant about that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564611a4e4b02e2863f16c1c/1772119136982-DFQG7FE8NWJAXVUVBGTQ/HOLD+by+Lesley+Humphrey.jpeg Available Works - HOLD… 22” x 15” watercolor on paper (SOLD) I used to ’event’ and in this painting I wanted to capture that moment when your horse is flying to the cross-country fence and you want him to ‘check back’ a little, gather himself for a safe flight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564611a4e4b02e2863f16c1c/1772118657587-SBUALS2P7V231CPQTPP0/Waking+Up+The+Warhorse+by+Lesley+Humphrey.jpeg Available Works - WAKING UP THE WARHORSE: 24" x 12" acrylic on panel (Available) Waking Up The Warhorse is an improvisational painting; A “call to arms” if you will… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564611a4e4b02e2863f16c1c/1773234025007-6F4506LO5ZR264PTNCKD/IMG_1030.jpeg Available Works - The Tattered Cloak: 14" x 12" acrylic on board As I age, I am inspired by Yeats’ poem: “An aged man is but a paltry thing; A tattered cloak upon a stick unless Soul clap its hands and sing, and loudly sing for every tatter in its mortal dress.” I think my Soul is clapping and singing… I’m having lots of fun discovering anyway! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564611a4e4b02e2863f16c1c/1772118950752-YE58K1FCQBCSTSG3K50D/Back+In+The+Saddle+by+Lesley+Humphrey.jpeg Available Works - BACK IN THE SADDLE: 24” x 12” acrylic on panel (Available) You know those times when you lose your nerve? When you’re not sure you want to ‘get back in’? Well, I decided it was time to get back into the studio and see what happens. This is an improvisational piece that simply emerged one afternoon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564611a4e4b02e2863f16c1c/1773234572725-910JFT51VGCTEAHQEBHL/IMG_2135.jpeg Available Works - CINCO: 12" x 9" oil on panel You know when you just wiggle the brush around, then you see what happens? 5 horse heads began to emerge as I painted along.

I didn’t complete the jockey because, most important to me was that I captured the motion. That’s what I was aiming for anyway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564611a4e4b02e2863f16c1c/1773235515903-C4PNU874XRB0X1VAY49C/IMG_1049.jpeg Available Works - IT'S A FAMILY AFFAIR: 11" x 8" acrylic improvisation on board It’s hard to let go, let your children go their own way. It’s tentative; It’s not comfortable especially in today’s world. I think these are the feelings that prompted this piece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564611a4e4b02e2863f16c1c/1773841186571-1AVKRWAPPKH8DFHG4JHV/image-asset.jpeg Available Works - PAUSED: 12.5" X 11" Improvisational acrylic on board Sometimes you just need to empty your mind, choose colors that suite you that day, and just ‘ramble’ on the panel.

It’s currently at The Pearl Fincher MFAH, Houston. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564611a4e4b02e2863f16c1c/1773841392291-HYFHDXKJDVCQCJ75UX1N/IMG_1163.jpeg Available Works - FOLLOW THE LADY: 11.5" x 7.5" improvisational acrylic on board She’s leaving the crowd guys! She’s fed up of conformity. She has her cloak on, her hat… She has horse power.. What more could any girl want? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/564611a4e4b02e2863f16c1c/1773841816337-TEUNOPIF50S72M041946/Reunion.jpeg Available Works - REUNION: 18" x 9" Acrylic, mixed-media improv. on wood panel When shadows come and you can’t see what’s around the corner, it soothes the Soul to reconnect with one’s spirit.
