This was from a reference photo of a very pregnant mare on the beach of Corolla, NC.
It is so much easier for me to see value after I post, I see a few spots I would like to change as I look at it.
Light spot in front of right front leg needs to be dark.....Will work on that!
And horses are way easier to paint than beaches. Just saying. See you tomorrow.

She looks like a very happy mother-to-be. Good job!
ReplyDeletebeautiful painting, I think beaches are easier! Diana
ReplyDeleteYou are doing great on your challenge!! The horse is beautiful and I love the way you did the grass.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone, it has been easier to paint with kids at school (no snow days!). Maybe I shouldn't say that out loud it is snowing right now....
ReplyDeleteMaria you beautifully paint horses.This one is wonderful too.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Yasha, funny the horses come easily, it is the rest I have to work at, and I am, everyday. I love your work as well, any tips are always welcome, hoping to get to some workshops some time, so much to learn!
ReplyDeleteAnother fabulous horse watercolor! I love so much about this painting. You are very good at sky washes, and I love the way you did the grass. Beautiful Painting!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Jennifer, this painting every day thing is a little tiring and your feedback makes me smile. Note, I have not attempted a portrait yet, someday you might inspire me.... I'm not brave enough yet!
