Description Update! Clearer image!
-----

Carousel piece I can finally post!

I did this for my friend Kaitlyn as a Christmas present and I was finally able to give it to her yesterday.

Possibly my favorite of the ones I've done.

The quality isn't great thanks to the fact that it was too big to scan. But yeah... her horse Ginger as a carousel horse.

Watercolor on drawing paper... a bit of a bad idea... but it gets interesting effects, like the muscling around her haunches.

Yeah... I had to go through and 'update' a lot of pieces. I must have been seeing with laser vision or something before. o.o

Lovely work! Beautiful color choices - and it's so nice to see great design and an understanding of horse anatomy! And, love the alternating polo wraps. Never seen those on a carousel horse - but they make such a nice touch!

lunatteo In reply to taobunny [2010-11-11 00:43:46 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, yeah, the polos were a 'should I? I dunno... well I'll try it.' Still not sure how I feel about them all in all... I think I'm going back to clean legs with my more recent carousel horses, hehe. But thank you very much!

surfersquid [2010-04-27 15:29:20 +0000 UTC]

Awesome job on this one. I can tell you have a lot of fun with ribbons. And the drawing paper gives some unique results with the watercolor--it didn't warp the paper at all? (Although you're far more pro at watercolors than I am so you probably know how to apply them properly. )

lunatteo In reply to surfersquid [2010-04-27 18:04:56 +0000 UTC]

Oh it totally did >.< But not as much as the other ones... I used a heavier amount of paint and less water with this... and then flattened it with books >.> Hehe But yeah, trick is minimal water possible... tho it actually works better on bristol than drawing paper >.>

surfersquid In reply to lunatteo [2010-04-27 18:06:38 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm, yeah, I can imagine. Sounds like you know how to minimize warping effectively, though.

Thanks! Yeah funny how colors sorta just... work... hehe... I was sorta obsessed with that green color, which was a new paint tube I got from my dad. >.> still sorta love it... just need more reasons to use it. Trying to remember the name. The other is acra violet primarily... with some ultramarine violet and crimson

ladyjazzkiller In reply to lunatteo [2010-04-27 07:21:32 +0000 UTC]

I approve of that message. The green really is nice! I was more caught up with the purple, but I just did a double take.

This image of the piece doesn't show off the green to it's best. >.< I might attack it in photoshop and see if I can't fix it. I hate when I can't have decent images of my pieces.

That's always a trick, isn't it? I don't know if you can ever get it to be really accurate though. :/
