‘Paint Swish’ Watercolor of Western Paint Horse In Progress by Debbie Flood

paint swish progress 4 Medium Web view                                                                            This is the update on Paint swish, a 17 x 17 inch Watercolor in Progress.

This has become an interesting painting for me. I’ve let go of pre-thought out ways that I would like this painting to go, and have embraced just letting it happen. Yes, I got the preliminary sketches done and some composition worked out and I knew I wanted some kind of impact and dynamic painting, with the horse being quickly turned in mid gallop.  So I have used bold color of orange, yellow, and red with blues to make it pop.

I pretty much feel as though I am following along, just as you are. And I am marveling at how and where it is taking me.  I’ve mostly been working from the ground up on this painting. Isn’t that the way we often work at things in this life. Moving up our ladder of accomplishments. I’m moving up the ladder of areas in this painting.

I hope you are enjoying the progress of this painting. I have also been posting updates and a fun video of my studio on my Facebook Fan Page. You can find the link to that page on the sidebar of my Blog here.

Enjoy!

Debbie
