WIP Wednesday


watercolor work in progress 8 x 10
for purchasing information please email me at crystal@crystalcookart.com

     Getting closer. But still, a long way to go. The body of the horse and the head is pretty much finished, but the mane, bridle and the rider's hand still need to be finished.  Then when I have all of that finished I'll go through it and see what needs to be strengthened. All those little last minute pieces.

     Oh yeah, and the horse's teeth and tongue. Jeez, how could I forget that? ;)

      I'm keeping this post short and sweet today because tomorrow my friends, oh boy, tomorrow I am going to be posting some of my art from high school (brave!!) and ten things I've learned about art since then. I hope I've learned more than ten things since then, but ten sounded like a good number.

      Now I really must go, I keep getting interrupted by a little hand tugging on my pants and asking for "pease?!" more snacks. He's starting to get a little peeved with me I think. Until tomorrow :)

  1. Ummmm...nice! Did I say this painting is NICE? Loving the way you have handled the paint in such an easy, flowing way - almost looks effortless (of course I know better). Plus I am such a sucker for horse stuff...when I was a kid I refused to draw anything but horses for about a two year period.
