Re: Dressage
I like the way you have used a dark outline to capture the horse head. Its similar to how they use a dark colour in some Mehndi patterns.Now that's something I'd like to try rather than a permanent tatoo.
Do you think it would be easier for me to try painting a very small watercolour rather than big. I just feel there's less chance of me making a mess of it.
I've been looking at my daughters website and she seems to be using acrylic paints and oil but I get the impression oils is very difficult.

Do you sell your paintings?
I do sell a few, but to be successful you need to be a Professional Artist and have an Agent who will charge 50% for selling. Framing is expensive from £30.00 t0 £40.00 each and of posting very high insurance.
i am just an Amateur.

A black outline rings the subject forward even though it is not really there
Watercolour is considered to be the most difficult medium as it is hard to correct and lifting and rubbing out the colours can weaken the paper.
Oils and Acrylic can be corrected even when still wet
Yes it is a good idea to start small,perhaps an orange or apple or a single flower
If you log onto YouTube you will find hundreds of demo's
and instructions in Watercolour,Oil, Acrylic. Pastel and Drawing.
