Key Takeaways -
🎨 If you are new to my tutorials please read this entire post
🎨 You do not need to use my exact colors. You DO need to get the values right on the horse
🎨 We’ll do A LOT of negative painting in this tutorial. We’ll paint around the light mane and also paint around the lights in the tree in the upper right corner.
🎨 Your painting will not look like mine. It will look like yours.
🎨 Paint this AT LEAST twice if you are not a super advanced artist. If I had time I’d paint mine again, and I think I’d crop it closer in. I included an 11x14 line drawing for a closer crop.
🎨 If you are a beginner I recommend painting this on cold press paper
🎨 I recommend painting this as an 11x14” It will be too hard to render eye details otherwise
Colors I used: Burnt Sienna, Cobalt Blue, Ultramarine Blue, Naphthol Red, Holbein Aureolin, Windsor Violet, Windsor Green Gold, DS Permanent Green Light, DS Lamp Black
Do not worry about getting my exact colors in the background. The important thing is to use grayed down blue/green in the background behind the horse so it will recede and not take over the painting.
