Artist Sadie Valeri Details Creation Process for 'Horse and Mantle' Oil Painting

Artist Sadie Valeri has shared the development process for her oil painting 'Horse and Mantle,' which depicts a horse sculpture by Isidore Bonheur. The work measures 20 by 16 inches on linen panel with an arched frame. Valeri created a video demonstrating stages including preparatory drawing, grisaille underpainting, and glazing techniques. She offers detailed instructional access through her Online Atelier membership program, though the course is not sold separately. The painting draws inspiration from a cast drawing of Bonheur's écorché sculpture, incorporating elements like glass jars and seashells.
