Firstly I am indebted to Wendy Hodgkins Corniquet for her excellent reference photograph

I find it hard to resist Camargue horses and when I saw this picture, I felt that it would work well as a painting

The only thing I changed was the background. The photograph had a background more like a sunset, which I have changed to something plainer. I felt that concentrated more on the horses.

Camargue horses as you know, run wild in the wetlands in the Rhone estuary. They are always white, which adds to their impact as a herd, especially galloping through water.

I have painted them many times, as featured on my web site davidharmerwatercolour.co.uk
