Get on and Ride! WIP Step 2

I have now started filling in some of the details of the decorations on the carousel horse as well as his mane and tail. Unfortunately tonight   I knocked my favorite ceramic palate on the floor and broke it in several pieces so some painting time was wasted on cleaning up.
 I am liking the glow from the bulls eye effect but now trying to decide if I can keep the horse looking white with the strong blue and pink. Stay tuned as this truly is a work in process.

Just posting a few of my favorite Quilts from a local Quilt show as I see them as works of Art.

Get on and Ride! WIP step1

This is the painting I have just started. I usually work on more than one at a time to allow the watercolor to dry in between.This painting I want to make Fun and whimsical just like a carousel horse should be.
 I have started the painting with a bulls eye under wash using three primary colors lemon yellow, alizarin and  thalo blue.

From the back

This is the other hibiscus painting in which I used the same palate as I did for the Twins. More yellow was allowed to show through on this painting to show how the sunlight was shining through the petals.The veins in this painting were made using Cad.red almost dry brush.
