Description THIRTY SONG CHALLENGE #6 ~~~~~ [Black Horse and the Cherry Tree - KT Tunstall]

Well my heart knows me better than I know myself
So I'm gonna let it do all the talking.
I came across a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree.

I felt a little fear, upon my back
I said don't look back, just keep on walking.
When the big black horse that looked this way,
Said hey lady, will you marry me?

But I said no, no, no,no-no-no
I said no, no, you're not the one for me
No, no, no,no-no-no
I said no, no, you're not the one for me

Yes! Another painting completed for my 30 song challenge! I know it doesn't seem much being that it's only the sixth one, but I still have a few others that are part of the way finished and are almost completed too. It gives me a little more confidence in completing this beast of a project.
But anyway, I'm very happy how this painting turned out! ^_^ It seriously took me more than 5 tries to get the anatomy of the horse right! For some reason I kept making the proportion of the horse pony-size and not regular horse size. Even still he might be a tad small for a "big horse," but then again I've never really worked or rode many horses, so I'm unfamiliar with their averages sizes compared to people. >_< The girl came out nicely though. I was able to capture the image of her pose that I had in mind (which is rare because normally I end up changing the initial persons pose like a hundred times before I'm satisfied with the result on paper...my poor mind never gets it's true ideas captured perfectly on paper ). The cherry tree could've used a little more work, however I'm terrible at drawing trees, and dabbing all of those flowers onto the branches took most of the effort in this painting. Maybe I'll come back to it once I gain more perfection in drawing trees. lol
Hope you all like it!

Painted with watercolors and acrylics

Man, I love your paintings so much! They're so nice! This one is so nice, I love the colours here! Gahhh horses are sooo hard to draw, I have no idea why! Everytime I draw them they always look like cows or some weird lizard-gazelle hybrid. I've always wanted to be good at drawing horses.... I think they are really pretty animals!

My mom used to own/or still does (to be honest, I really don't know what the story is with that - long story. XD) some horses...THEY. ARE. HUGE. Especially male horses. Theres this one breed that I saw at a fair here once and the thing was, like, seriously, the size of a Brachiosaurus! LOL! Can't remember the breed, but it was so pretty! Sometimes, horses freak me out, because I'm scared if I scare them or something like that, they can frighten easily and a horse could probably clobber you out of defense lol! But really tho, they are just sweet and really kind animals, and it's no wonder why some people love them so much. I loved feeding horses! It's a lot of fun and they love their food!

Anyway. Great stuff here, I love it! The tree looks gorgeous - its my favourite part of this picture!

Awww! Thank you so much Jess!!! *ΓΌbermegahugz*

lol Yeah, I wish I had more experience with drawing horses. I'd really like to try and master that one day.
Oh man I believe it. I've seen some incredibly big horses when I visited my friend's farm once, and I couldn't believe how anyone could even try and mount those things without a stepladder. lol But like you said, some of them are gentle giants. I petted a female at the same farm and she was just a sweetheart. ^_^ She loved getting her face and hair stroked.
Anyway, thanks again! I really appreciate it. <3

Thank you very much! ^_^ Yeah, if only I had an actual cherry blossom tree like that by my house. *sigh* It would add so much color and beauty in my dull yard. lol

Horse looks a bit skinny imo


I use to like horses, then I saw a dead one. And had to rearrange it's bones to recreate a skeleton

(it was for palentology class)

German-Blood In reply to UnrealCanine [2011-03-31 23:57:47 +0000 UTC]

Skinny really? Aww. I'll definitely have to go back and edit that.
Oh my! So was it like a group project to build the skeleton, or an individual effort? Sounds pretty intense to recreate a horse skeleton.
