Description For the 2008 Horse Art RPG Annual Show. They took first in their class!

Compass and Northbound performing in-hand for the Foal at Foot class (FaF).

It's hard to create a black without actually using black. Worked on it off-and-on and without reference, so forgive the many mistakes.

Watercolors in a Moleskine watercolor notebook.

Adorable, of course! And I actually sort of love the black-without-black, especially on the mare's legs (that near fore is gorgeous!). Your horses always look so natural and graceful.

Thank you! I rather enjoy the challenge of trying new and different things. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, but I always seem to learn something!

Aw, thankye. I think it comes from drawing them a lot and being around them too.

GREAT I'm glad I haven't entered Farce with his mother... He would never behave so collected like your two Oo

Seriously
movement and colors are gorgeous. I adore your very confident usage of the brush.
The black problem... well it looks like the legs only need to be a little darker and then it will work just fine

Haha, it takes good, consistent handling, that and Northbound's close to a yearling now.

Thank you very much! I've taken up a bit of a "devil may care" attitude this year with my art, just kind of plunging in and seeing what turns out. Mistakes are par for the course and aren't to be fussed over.

*Nodding.* I probably should have pre-mixed the colors rather than just layering them over each other, but you live and learn.
