#11/30 in 30 - Study in White - Prance

A white pony - with lots of color!  At least that was the plan - I backed off in the end.  Not sure it's finished - I may go back and add some color and soften some edges!

Day 5 - Paint Pony

Paint Pony, 7'x5", watercolor on paper

I've painted him before, and I know I will again!

Juicy Lucy! (Loose-y!)

This is my first painting in the Small Pony Series.  Following my first outdoor art fair in late October, I took a short break from painting.  I found an 11"x15" sheet I had divided into quarters, so I decided to return to painting by doing a series of small works.  This first one was a very loose style that I love!

The day after I finished this, a woman who had seen my work at the art fair called to commission a painting as a Christmas present!

Hour 8

Had class this evening as I will all semester, so I was tired when I got home, and almost didn't paint. Maybe I shouldn't have, pretty sure this one isn't my favorite. The reference photo didn't have much contrast because the horse was almost completely backlit, so it was hard to find any details in the dark side of his face. I also think his jaw is a little small. Oh well, he was fun to paint, and that's what it's all about!

Hour 7

I was so busy with work stuff this evening that I almost forgot to post! But I did paint!
I got home from work this afternoon and after turning on the computer, it informed me that it was ill and needed more rest, and it shut down. Not being wise in these matters, I decided to let it rest until my tech-savvy mate got home! With nothing to work on, I decided to paint.
I liked the intent look on this guy, as well as his blues and greens. My husband says it looks like he fell in an algae-filled pond!
The computer is all better now, so here he is.

Hour 2

This evening my hour started after 9pm. I found that it took me over 15 minutes to get everything together, so in the future, I will get the water bucket the night before, the reference material in advance, and spray down/put out fresh paint before I start to sketch so it has time to get juicy!
This is Paint Pony 3, a watercolor on paper, and is 10"x8." I like the of warm tones in this one..
