Green Horse Statue
More watercolor practice. Experimenting with watercolors *without* laying down black ink lines. It feels so strange.
I painted just the shadows in purple and was going to leave it at that. Then I got the bright idea to wash it over with patina green. It looked too cold, so then I washed it over with Raw Sienna. Thought it looked pretty good. Well maybe it looks OK. Finally darkened up the deepest shadows a bit to make them pop.
Meh, the jury's still out.
Hubby says it looks like a braying donkey.
Sigh.
