Custom Portrait Commission of Horses in a Nevada Landscape

A client reached out requesting a 18x24 portrait of three horses from three different reference photo. I was asked to put the horses into a Nevada landscape setting and basically to make the whole thing look as if it was always the composition that you see today.

So I went to the land of make believe and played around with the landscape and the horses until I was happy with the imaginary space I had created. As always I made sure to document the step by step process in a video.
