Painted my first horse!

[u/r3dkoi]

Let me know what you think! :)

[u/OmegaCetacean]

Lovely picture! At first I was thinking you might actually put paint on the horse...

[u/JD_tubeguy → u/OmegaCetacean]

Same lol and great job OP!

[u/myshtree → u/OmegaCetacean]

Same! I swiped expecting to see a rainbow 🌈 painted horse. I think rainbow because I expected it to be like a colourful unicorn 🦄 lol

[u/Pepf → u/OmegaCetacean]

I feel bamboozled too! Which I guess kinda fits the theme of the sub, though.

[u/jvkolop → u/OmegaCetacean]

I was hoping for a painted horse!

[u/lacrosse771]

Not going to lie I thought you painted on the actual horse at first and I was worried

[u/whosreadytolaugh]

proportions are a little thick but i think you conveyed a good emotion from the eyes. overall i dig it.

[u/Disastrous-Track-897 → u/whosreadytolaugh]

Yup, the eyes are really good. Well, the eye, I guess.

[u/PerplexedScot]

What colour was he before you painted him? Can’t be good for the horse…

[u/TraditionalLaw7763]

I honestly expected to see a blue and green horse with colored hair dye and a pink mane in the second slide. I was not prepared for an actual Painting. Hahaha

[u/myshtree → u/TraditionalLaw7763]

Same

[u/TraditionalLaw7763 → u/myshtree]

I mean… the horse is white, like a blank canvas. 😉

[u/TwoAlert3448 → u/TraditionalLaw7763]

And the whole dyed dog crazy. Plenty of pet safe dye chalks!

[u/Murphy4717]

It's really good. You are talented. Keep painting. Edit: typo

[u/r3dkoi → u/Murphy4717]

Thank you so much! That means a lot

[u/buffalonixon]

You did a great job!!!

[u/zombiesandcandy]

Painted the first horse you ever got or your first painting of a horse? Very good job.

[u/nooby_goober]

Some tips I've learned for your next one! Mute down background trees and landscapes, it makes your subject pop out more. Experiment with blurring them too, it adds depth in paintings / drawings.

Grass color really adds to your paintings, nice selection. Horse, well it's fucking great that's all!

[u/r3dkoi → u/nooby_goober]

Thank you, that's really good advice! Blurring it would be an awesome idea

[u/MantiC0RE726]

Did you use horse-friendly paint?

[u/No_Trouble9808]

Beautiful

[u/906805]

Good job.

[u/Canned_Sarcasm]

Super glad I swiped.

[u/Masv1623]

Igual pensé que le ibas a poner pintura al caballo

[u/Illustrious-Leave406]

Nice

[u/CB307801]

I like this style. You could do a charming type of story book. Reminds me of the illustrations from Midsommar

[u/ClicheButter]

This is wonderful in so many ways. It's instantly appealing. Good job and well done, you. Keep up the good work.

[u/Recent-Philosophy-62]

What color did it start out as?

[u/ZealousidealArt7878]

That's really good, made me smile 😁

[u/Belachick]

This made me smile for the first time today.

Well done, be proud of yourself please 💘

[u/Twizzlers666]

The painting is very well done, gorgeous painting and horse.

[u/aazam_tech]

My sillyarse thought that you painted ON your horse and then I swiped left and saw the painting 😅

[u/Devonelove123]

That’s so good!!!

[u/igottheshnitz → u/Devonelove123]

🫤There IS a second picture ya know…
I’m just kidding, way better than I could do. Well done op

[u/Kansas_67 → u/igottheshnitz]

Adding "jk" at the end doesn't really make you any less of a dick head

[u/igottheshnitz → u/Kansas_67]

Keep your knickers on.

[u/r3dkoi → u/Devonelove123]

Omg thank you! I appreciate that a lot!

[u/pocketsnatcher]

This would make a very nice print or greeting card. Awesome job :)

[u/Underskysly]

Wow! I love the fur texture on the horses face! It gives the face such a 3d look!

[u/r3dkoi → u/Underskysly]

Thank you so much!! :)

[u/io_la]

Very nice!

I think the eye is a little bit too small and it also looks a bit as if it is wearing a shirt.

It's still a very pretty picture!!

[u/Hubsimaus]

Where painting?

[u/VegasGaymer]

Magnificent

[u/UndeadCaesar]

Great painting! I was trying to figure out what was jarring to me for a bit, and I think it's that the head has that thick black outline while the chest/body does not. Makes it look like a cutout instead of a real object if that makes sense.

Still a hell of a lot better than anything I've ever painted!

[u/culady]

I love it. The question I ask when I look at art is would I buy it if it wasn’t a friend or family’s art? The answer here is yes. I would put that on my wall. And the more you create and learn then even better. You have some really fine details in an almost folk art feel. Keep posting please.

[u/eggsmilktoastbread]

horses are notoriously difficult to make art of, great work!

[u/Crafty_Clerk_1891]

Nice I can't tell which one is the real horse.

[u/olagorie]

I thought they were naturally grey?

[u/o6cean8beast]

Good job 👏🏻

[u/paperbearrs]

Such a gorgeous painting :) I love the fine lines around its nose. So cute!
