Horse Race….Show

Being inundated with Horse Racing activities these past couple of weeks it seemed perfectly natural to sketch a horse next.



Got my outline down…..then grabbed my watercolor paint mess to put a light color base down.



…..Yea, Yea….I know I said I don’t draw animals…but since their hair is so short, it’s almost like sketching skin.  Plus….I get to draw one of those colorful jockeys too



I learned something new this year.  Every horse in a given position always wears the same color…..red #1…..green #5…..orange#7…..etc.  As you can tell, I am out of my element.



Just playing with those folds…..



The neat thing about sketching from a picture….is the ability change colors.  I’ll be making this horse a light brown instead of dark brown…Go Baby Go!
