Watercolor pencil portraits.

Who wouldn't love a horse named "mudpie".
I have a cat named Elvis, but I call him "lumpy".

Quick "sketch" using watercolor pencils. ABout 45 minutes total.

"A Quick 45 min one" - Holy Cow! That is so good!!

Heres a picture (more of Jess in my horses) that if you feel like messing with it go ahead :) If not that's cool. If you do do her I would love it if her ears were forward lol

You are amazingly talented, keep it going

Please ignore the line shadow across her belly :) and the stalker arabian behind her lol the whole reason her ears are back :)

Dear friend,
I hate to sound arrogant, but I tend to do photos that inspire me in some way. Either the color or lighting or the action of the horse. I mean no insult, but that photo is very plain. It will not make a very interesting painting. Your mare is not doubt prettier than shown in the picture, to be honest. If you have a really neat photo, post it. I cannot guarantee being able to do it. I can guarantee that if you commission me to do so, but for freebies for fun, well it's when I have time and when photo "speaks" to me.

OMG thank you sosososososososososo much -- It's BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!! *bearhugs you* *Dances around with picture in hand!!!!!*

I am kind of Ho hum about that one. I think the colors got muddy. But I did it while cleaning up to go to bed , past midnight. So, whatever.

I liked the position of their legs and the way they bore the whole front on the one leg, well under the body.

Not sure if I shouldn't have done this in ink. Hm m m m .....

I don't have the refernce photo right now. I need permission to post it, first.

The blue is meant to show the shiny black hair. But maybe too much blue. I spent so much time looking at the tiny details and color that I lost connection with the overall.
