White Carriage Horse

8x5 watercolor, collage, Tombow brush pen on paper done today.  The horse is featured on WetCanvas weekend drawing event in which we have only 2 hours to draw or paint our chosen reference out of 16.  First I drew him with Tombow black ink and decided to add sentences for his main mane and forelock out of an old novel.  These were collaged on.  Watercolor added to background of mixed blues and a little pink for his nose and upper lip area.  Mostly I used quinacridone burnt orange + ultramarine blue for a mixed brown. Total time was an hour.
