This is an inside/flash shot.
First, I gently lifted color several times, no blotting, just wiping the brush and going back in. Then I went over the entire face [not muzzle] and neck with a thin glaze of quin. gold. This was recommended by Linda Young, another blogging watercolor painter, from the Eastern U.S. The quin. gold has a bit of a greenish cast, and I was hoping it would tone down the excessive red/purple I found her to be. I think it did that, but as usual, I'm not sure I am completely pleased with the painting yet! So what else is new??? As always, all comments are happily received! |
Horses are so hard to paint! I wouldn't know what to do either, but I think you are getting there!
ReplyDeleteWell, I think she is gorgeous, - like before I can see nothing wrong, and I wouldn't know what else could be done. I think you are a very severe judge of your own masterpieces ! :-)
ReplyDeleteAll the best. xox
This is really starting to show promise, hang in there. Things are looking like they are really coming together you may be surprised at the results.
ReplyDeleteYou will make a really difficult to please art critic. Fabulous work.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Work
ReplyDeleteMaddy is looking lovely with her form and tone. I'm sure you will look at her and know just what to do so you feel the painting is finished.
ReplyDeleteWish you and yours a most Blessed Thanksgiving.
Miss Maddy certainly is beautiful! I have seen that colouring on horses before, so I think you've got it taped!
ReplyDeleteWell this has made a huge difference! It really has! It goes to show that sometimes the only way is to step away and go back another day!:0)
ReplyDeleteReally nice painting! And I appreciate all your comments on my blog. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteI think she is just beautiful Kathryn! I think that quin gold really did the trick. And I love her sweet expression still, I know I've said it before but it's what always impresses me when I see her. :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent handling of watercolor.
