    Cross posted from current monthly challenge on Animals/Wildlife forum:
    9×12 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done this weekend. For the dark brown coat I mixed a limited palette of ultramarine blue and quin burnt orange; this was painted wet on dry.
    C&C welcome :cool:

    Gorgeous, Kay! I love that thick, flowing mane. She looks kind and gentle, and once again, your watercolor work is stunning! I love it!

        Something in the lower neck line/shoulder & chin/mouth seems off to me.
        Just from a general horse geek aspect..

            Love the wild mane and bits of orange color. Nice one, Kay!

                        I was trying to find the right words, and all that came to mind was “delicious”. Great, juicy, rich yet subtle. Superb control, yet allowing the paint to speak for itself. Really excellent. In the background, the left to right cool to warm passages are a masterstroke, drawing ones attention to the halo of light through the mane and main focus (sorry I couldn’t resist that). Impressed!

                        As long as there is light, I will paint it.

                        Thank you John! Good pun.
                        Joy, I struggled with drawing the mare’s curved head to her nose area and mine looks too straight.
