Dressage horse, 2 hour challenge.
Here, you see the beginning of the painting. This is the first 10 minutes or so. I'm painting with watercolor on a stretched canvas. They look pretty funny at first! I'm using a big brush and putting in some main shapes. This is a fairly large painting, 16X20".
Now, I'm drawing in some lines and defining the image a little better. This is about 25 minutes into the painting.
This was about 45 minutes into the painting. The horse's head was to small, so I added onto it.
Here's the finished painting. I used acrylic on the background, and the painting will be varnished to finish it and protect the surface. You'll be able to find it for sale on ebay.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope your holiday season is happy and your New Year Happy!
There's more horse art and equine art on my website.
