Watch a work in progress, part four

Here is the finished piece.

I added more ink detail, and the underpainting was amped up a few notches with some deep violet, chestnut and siennas. The background was added with dusty rose and light terracotta. More black and cobalt blue was added to the mane and forelock. More violet and brown was added to the eye, and I dabbed color and water to create luminosity.

Watercolor likes to be left alone to create shapes and textures with the passage of drying time. That's one of the many reasons I love watercolors.
