Yep, sounds like a blue-green horse to me. ^_^ My 2nd entry for the fun contest. All watercolour on arches cold press. *I can't wait for my hot press arches to get here. Gaa! I'm such a nerd!*

Wow, that is beautiful. I love the colors you've chosen. Serious wow on his mane...that looks amazing. Did you mask at all, or just paint around everything?

Gah, I know about geeking out over art paper. I totally HART Fabrino soft press. Which I'm out of. Sad.

heh. you caught me. I have not masked this one - it was a lot of quick handy work and then, I went back in with white watercolour to add a few highlights after the fact.

I haven't tried Fabrino soft press... I know they sure don't give arches hot press away, heh. But... oh... is it nice stuff to work with.

Well, it looks awesome, and consider me impressed with your detail work. You know, I keep meaning to try Chinese white. I'll have to try some highlights on my next endeavor.

You should totally try soft press. It is my supar-ultra-favorite. You know, cheapjoes.com has some great prices on sample packs if you want to give it a go.

I'll have to give it a go - no doubt! I am trying to catch up on my backlog of comics, but, heh, the winters are long in ND, so, what the hell?
