Swimming mare
A watercolour painting I did of Miss Finland, a racehorse in the sports section
First I started out with this sketch
I started painting. First I approached it by blocking in the colours, then I realised that because of the amount of highlights, this wasn't going to work. I'd have to start with fine details. As it's a watercolour painting it required a lot of planning because the highlights had to be negative space. It's near impossible to paint over dark colours with light in watercolour.
And that's it finished! It was a marathon effort but I think it was worth it.
