Watercolor Ponies Questions
Should I leave the mane white or…?
So for my first real watercolor painting I drew a horse. Or a halflinger pony to be exact. And halflingers have white mane.
Here’s the painting:

Should I keep the mane paper white or do just a bit of color? (you can get an idea on the mane up by the finished ear, but not the greatest photo)
Leave it white, but in white paint, like the other answerer suggested. Maybe background pale blue or something to make it stand out. By the way, you did a great job.
Why Paint Pets?
Even if it is just on the mantel, many pets can now live forever thanks to the great talent of a lady painter. For every person who has a pet be it a pony, dog, cat or even white rat, he will think that it is the loveliest and smartest pet in the world, and she agrees to such. Undergoing some coaxing and cooing before their darling pets head to the camera and be immortalized on the mantel is something these proud owners are willing to get into. And once the film comes back, an ear of Scottie droops while a big yawn flusters Samantha. Blue boy’s foot was gone and shadows swallowed up poor Willy. What was intended to be a pet’s photographic remembrance became an unexpected flop.
By way of a photograph showcasing the cutest traits or personality of the pet, she can remedy this problem and create a great animal portrait. A common practice we see today among many illustrators is working from a subject’s photograph. With a true and experienced portraitist, one can still come up with an excellent portrait even when the animal lovers bring in photos of their pets that are extremely fuzzy, off centered or dimly lit. Painting human beings can be a big challenged for her while she loves creating animal portraits.
She is after achieving the spirit of the subject. If one person could look and scrutinize her work, he would state that the subject seems happy, morose or whatnot. She is indeed happy about the picture. People pictures could often be like those of animals with very little personality while lighting and composition leave a lot to be yearned for. Worse, the snapshot’s quality won’t even allow enlarging a print to framing size and be good enough to be flaunted on a wall. The portraitist comes in at this point. Close up photos which she takes on her own, be it a small one can still enable her to come up with a magnificently warm, portrait that is full or personality and intimacy.
If a need arises, she is able to enhance tone and color, thanks to her creative edge. She manages to develop and improve details but she sticks to reality. When it comes to a customer’s portrait, she works in the medium they want her to work with. Pen and ink as well as watercolor, for instance, were the media she used in creating the sheriff’s portrait. She often sticks to this method as seen in most of her masterpieces.
When you look closely, the shading of the portrait is a series of tiny flecks. There are more or less, a hundred thousand dots in the picture. She showed how the effect was created, by way of a rapidograph pen. This is essential for detail as she explained she can move the pen in any direction when line drawing and it won’t spatter like the old ink drawing pens. Manipulating this is easy and it is fairly smooth.
A real artist is one who has mastered his signature style. It is apparent that the lady’s style is definite realism and nothing else. Back when she was younger, she was very much into the subject of horses and now she is into actually creating portraits. Art shows and fairs enabled her to gain so much wisdom.
Arousing the curiosity of people are the artworks displayed in a private collection, a Legion hall or perhaps a local college library. And this is precisely how the Midwest got to learn about her talent. After doing nudes on velvet and commercial art works, she has realized that with pets and people portraits lie her happiness.
