Horses at a Red Barn

Several horses look over stable doors at a red barn surrounded by warm countryside light.

The barn's red boards create a strong warm block behind the horses. Start with stable doors, faces and manes, then use hay and weathered wood to connect the lower half. Repeated boards and dark gaps are easier once the nearest horse has given them a clear horizontal frame. A slow pass around horses at a red barn will usually reveal the small color changes that are easy to miss at first.
