Stallion Colors

9x6 watercolor on Grumbacher 140 lb cold press paper painted on Wednesday during our art association paint in at my studio. Using clip art as a guide, pencil sketch emphasizing curved lines of the horse's mane and body was done using bright contemporary colors. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith

Mane Impression - contemporary horse painting

22x30 watercolor with a small amount black India ink, drawn and painted yesterday using a design I flipped facing to the right (previously had the horse facing left and did a small version that did sell and another large this size).  Kilimanjaro 140 lb paper cold press and Daniel Smith paints used along with #38 round brush only.  Initially I'd thought to make him all black but color won out.
