Another days work



I worked a bit on the background behind the left horse so I could start on his forelock and mane. Worked a bit on the other horses.
I am using masking for parts of the manes and tails but there is always a need to use white gouache for the tendrils on the hair that is flying around. I don't worry about using a non transparent watercolor as most shows these days accept that unless you are doing a show specifically for transparent watercolor.
I do a lot of negative painting in and around the hair, adding the background color so it looks as if you are looking through the hair.
