Dreams of Horses II
Watercolor /
Animals /
Alla Prima Paintings
For this abstract painting, I used a different method
from that in Dreams of Horses I.
With this second image, I started by painting onto the paper
with a brush dipped in clear water. Where the water had been placed,
I dropped the watercolor pigments down, letting the colors flow freely
across the wet areas. For the white horse, I painted around the white silhouette
of the paper instead of coloring in its body. In contrast, the dark
horse was painted using the wet brush and dropped color technique described above.
