Description
Split Complementary watercolor!I messed around with the composition a bit-by adding SWIRLS!
Link to sketch: [link]
I like how the contrast turned out-the powerful muzzle against the orange background is my favorite part.
Mediums used: pencil on hot press wc paper, watercolors, ps for frame. ^^
Enjoy! ~Amanda

Beautiful, I love the colors (They're soft, but vibrant at the same time, if that makes sense)The swirls make it even better!

Swirls!
I tend to use a lot of swirls in my compositions-you can really learn to use them to your advantage

My first thought when I saw this was..."Beautiful".
I love the contrast between the horse and the background, and all the swirls. It's a very beautiful piece.

Thank you dear! ^^
Sometimes you can find that some pictures that are still actually have movement in them. Maybe it's more of an emotional force at work
