Well it’s finished today…. I think. In the reference photos the figures were almost black, and I wanted to preserve that silhouette “feel”, so to achieve that I painted them as one solid entity, dragging the paint from the shadow under their hat brims right down through to the ground. I seldom layer; what I did here was add colour to the wet paint till it was dark enough and/or the right colour. I used more “local” colour in certain spots…like on the blue and yellow horses, the chaps or saddles. If you look closely though, there are no “edges” within the figures.
I was listening to one of my favourite watercolourists (Don Weller) today on You Tube and he says that he likes watercolour because it’s really “coloured drawings”, and I realized that that is exactly how I feel about it. The drawing was extremely important in this piece. SOLD
What i don’t realize is actually how you are not actually a lot more neatly-favored than you may be now. You’re so intelligent. You already know thus considerably on the subject of this topic, made me in my view consider it from so many varied angles. Its like men and women don’t seem to be involved unless it is one thing to do with Girl gaga! Your own stuffs outstanding. All the time care for it up!
