Horses in Harness

12x9 Caliart markers on marker paper by Masters Touch mixed with Brusho watercolor crystals done a few days ago. I used my sketch of these working horses in harness which was done in black Tombow brush pen, making only the darkest darks black. Then I traced those lines onto the new paper, used dark browns for the tack (bridle etc.), then partially wet the paper with a brush, sprinkling grey Brusho into that. The animals were dappled greys.
