Description I guess I ate my painting Wheaties this week (to be honest, I ate a lot of British Froot Loops, which only come in three colors and do not taste like Froot), because I'm posting again. Judge me not on content - I know it's an angel-child communing with animals in a golden haze, but sometimes I just like painting horses. About biannually, actually!

I am proud that this took me 24 hours (okay, fine, 25!), including the time I spent eating, sleeping, watching "Community" and taking a nap. Faster than usual. But I think that's because when you're drawing nature you can just bung anything in the background. It's not like an interior where you have to figure out where the corners go.

Also in wonderful news, this new paper lets me paint yellow without scanning dingy! Dingily! Dingier! As it were!

Watercolor & digital.

P.S. Yes, this is literally taking place on a field of Naples Yellow.

Thank you! The colors are something of a departure for me so I feel pretty proud. Thanks! : )

I scan in a full watercolor painting, set it on Multiply in Photoshop, and color it again digitally.
