Thoroughbred….Jockey

Thor11

Mr. Jockey started off this way from the wash stage.

Thor12

Went in for some mindless coloring….which shouldn’t be a problem, but all my reds seem to be too pink or too coral.  I have no plain-red!

Thor13

I must’ve been feeling fearless, because I started in on the goggles.  So much color and reflection going on there…possibly I wasn’t so much fearless as the goggles are forgiving.

Thor14

Started layering color in by brush for the face.  Then evened out the color in the helmet.

Thor15

I’m surprised that with each piece I must re-learn how good these watercolor pencils are for bringing in contour and depth to sensitive areas, like the face.  I seem to forget.

Thor16

He still has a lot of work ahead of him….or rather me!!  But I’m liking his look so far.
