Travel lovers and those who periodically have to make long trips and simply a pedestrian who walks around the city are well familiar with the concept or action which we call a stop on the way.
This can be a forced action, such as stopping at a pedestrian crossing or a railroad crossing stopping to refuel or because of a car breakdown, or maybe you do it voluntarily simply having seen the beauty of nature around or something interesting.
Sometimes you can combine the need and desire to stop yourself look around check how your horse is doing which pulls the cart, give it a drink and a snack of oats and you yourself can sit down on the grass next to the cart and eat a sandwich or if you are full you can check the neighboring forest for mushrooms.
I decided to draw one such possible stop of a man who was riding a cart along a forest road and decided to stop near a small pond to water his horse and check his harness.
Riding on a country road can be a source of excessive shaking and cause discomfort not only to the driver of a horse-drawn vehicle, but also to the motorist.
To depict one of the options for a stop along the way using graphite pencils was my task that day.
The thoughts were different it could be a forest road or a road along the fields.
But I immediately decided that it would be a stop of a cart harnessed by a horse and began to draw a cart wheel.
Yes taking care of the well-being of the horse on the way is the right motive for a stop.
I did not want to draw a stop near a rural cemetery to visit the graves of ancestors, which is also the right motive for a transport stop.
Since I draw everything based on my imagination and memory I had to mentally construct a wooden cart.
This work is interesting but it requires an engineering mindset lol.
I hope that a real cart assembled according to my drawings would go.
There was an idea to depict passengers in the cart but later I abandoned it.
It is interesting to work on the texture of the wood from which the cart is made.
If you had to make something from wooden boards then working on the drawing was similar to this.
Gradually the cart became a cart and it was time to work on the landscape surrounding it.
After many hours the work was completed and I clearly saw the stop along the way that I was thinking about.
More to come!

Have a blessed day!
