This is mostly watercolor, and partly washable pencil. I’m pleased with it, mostly, but next time my darks need to be darker, I think.

Reference to finished work of my new favorite Midas portrait. I snapped this picture while riding around bareback and bridleless. This horse is so much fun.

She’s 4 years old, but has discovered that Midas leads impeccably. This brings her great delight. It brings me great delight, also.

It will probably be a while before I feel I’ve properly captured the scene in paint.

Somehow, I didn’t post these! I have been practicing equine portraits with different media. These are both Breeze, from reference pictures taken seconds apart. The profile on the far right I did first, with ink pencils, the 3/4 profile in the middle right I did with watercolors supplemented with brush pens. I think the second one is better, personally. The lights and darks are better.
