This is a resin draft horse named Igor and his little rider that I finished a couple of weeks ago.

This is a resin jumper painted buckskin with tobiano markings.

This is another done with watercolor pencils. They are really quite fun to work with.

This is the finished version of the previous WIP. I could work more on her hat but I am tired of working on this so I am stopping here.

Detail of eyes.

This is the photo I used, courtesy of Wet Canvas. Not a great likeness but since this was just a painting project and not a real portrait project I didn't make the extra effort to make it exact.

This is a work in progress for a watercolor group I belong to online. It is our project for February. I think I have the face almost finished but need to finish the neck and body plus the hat and hair. I am using a photo that I got from Wetcanvas. When I have it finished I will post the photo too and see how well I did at the likeness. This is my first ever portrait.

This is my second attempt at this. I am happy with how he turned out. I was wondering if I would be able to accomplish a real dark black but the pencil black is really quite intense so it wasn't a problem.

This is the watercolor version. I am testing several new watercolor papers and this one was done on Windsor and Newton 140# coldpress. I liked it except once the color is down you can't move it much.

I am taking an online watercolor pencil class right now so I am going to be posting some quick paintings done with that medium.
This is my first for the class although I have done some WC pencil in the past but not a lot. I need to purchase some pencils that have more earth tones to make my animals look better.

I actually did this one before the Arabian but forgot to put him up. This is a red tailed hawk, done for the monthly project for my animal art group. I was trying to get detail in him without painting each and every feather. I think I accomplished that.
