Ink Sketch: Horses in Vineyard
Budget: $250 – $750 NZD
I’m commissioning a single-colour ink drawing that captures a quiet moment inside a traditional bush-vine vineyard—no trellises anywhere in sight. In the foreground I need my two horses: a 16-hand, dark-brown Standardbred calmly grazing between the vines while a 14-hand, light-brown Arabian lifts her head to look out toward the viewer. Both should feel naturally integrated into the rows of low, gnarled vines so the scene reads instantly as a working vineyard rather than a fenced paddock.
The style I’m after is an artist’s sketch rendered only in black ink on a white background, leaning toward realistic line work rather than cartoon or abstraction. Strong, confident strokes, clear anatomy, and enough textural detail to convey the twisted trunks of the bush vines will make the piece come alive.
Please keep the background consistent with the setting—just the vines themselves receding into the distance will be plenty; rolling hills, mountains or open fields are not required.
Deliverable: a high-resolution digital file (300 dpi PNG or TIFF is fine) plus the original layered or vector source so I can scale or tweak it for print.
