Longhorn Skull

22x15 watercolor on Arches 140 lb cold press paper completed last week. This was a remake, redo, recycle of a woman with abstract background in a horizontal format. Flipping the image vertically, I sketched a longhorn skull outline over the existing painting, then added colors and the large bilateral shadows. Lastly, I put in horizontal lines as if the skull were resting on a blanket for added detail design. (Image taken with iPhone) COPYRIGHT Kay Smith
