This drawing is part of my 30-days drawing challenge<\/a>, in which I’ll try to make a new drawing\/painting daily. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, it’s time for a new challenge: watercolor painting. I have used watercolor pencils before, but I have never painted a horse with traditional watercolors. This horse painting is an experiment, and I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful result. I particularly like the colors of the paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, I started by sketching the horse from a poster. Once I was satisfied with my sketch, I gave the horse a primer, coloring every part the same light color. Then, I added shadows where shadows were present and added details like the nostrils and a small star on his face. Then, I painted the mane and tail a darker brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, I colored the eyes black and added white reflective spots with POSCA markers because I didn’t have black watercolors. Lastly, I added cheerfully colored flowers to the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
