Feeding Time at the Barn

At feeding time, the horses gather around the barn waiting for their afternoon hay.


I draw their outline in colored pencil and then begin adding watercolor washes. (Link to video)


The top planes of the horse catch the blue of the sky.

    I love the blue reflections, sometimes I feel odd adding those colors I see that my brain says aren't what I should be seeing. I guess it's part of learning to paint what you see.

    Lou, you're right. He didn't like being tied on his leash, but we were near a busy road and a lot of horses.
    Stephen, I probably pushed the blue color a little but I find that to get those color effects you sometimes have to exaggerate a bit.
