Features: Ancient paintings of horses were mostly meticulous brushwork, while the emergence of freehand painting of horses that attracted widespread attention should have begun with Mr. Xu Beihong in modern times. Xu Beihong used extremely concise brushwork to depict the accurate structure, various dynamic poses, and fierce and spirited charm of horses on Xuan paper. Later, his students, such as Liu Boshu and Yinoushi, were also renowned contemporary horse painters. The author of this book, drawing on the essence of freehand horse painting from predecessors like Xu Beihong, has also developed their own insights and innovations. Additionally, the book provides detailed explanations of the various parts of a horse's body and introduces the step-by-step methods for painting horses in different poses, making it easier for readers to understand, replicate, and master. It can be said that this book is a highly excellent and practical reference for painting horses.
