Animal Art by Jeannie: Equine and Canine Art from May 2010

The next 2 images are of Drogen, a Gypsy Vanner. These were fun little experiments in color. Watercolor--3.5x4 inches.

These 4 images are of Solo, a Gypsy Vanner. Just playing with primaries here. Watercolor--3.5x4 inches each.

Here are 4 experiments on an image of my cousin's paint horse, Coco. I learned a lot from these little exercises. Watercolor--4.5x3 inches.

After doing the last 4 exercises of Coco, I painted this piece. Watercolor--9.5x7.5 inches. I was pleased enough to frame this one.

The next 2 watercolors are of Solo again. I am working on learning ways to deal with the background. Both are done on 11x14 inch 300 lb paper.

Next, I am playing with warm and cool colors. These 2 images of a Friesian mare and her yearling filly were taken from a photo I shot at a horse expo this year. Watercolor--3x4.5 inches each

The next 3 images come from pictures I took at a desensitizing clinic this spring. I am now experimenting with adding humans to my equine paintings. Watercolor--3.5x5 inches

A set of images of a paint pony below. I really like the way the reds mixed with the blues on the 4th one down. Watercolor--the first and second are 3x4.5 inches; the 3rd and 4th are 3.5x5 inches.
