Picnic Races

Wow Estelle, I would work some more on this in different ways, try it again, do it in a bigger scale, this is a winning concept and you seem to have a feel for it. Do more of this Estelle.

love the nice loose style of your w/c fabulous , I have seen some big names sell for thousands , similar to the way you have done this..I’ll bm you a link.

I love your concept … from loose to detailed … the last horse on the left. You go Girl!
Kudos for the first water color!

This is terrific, real talent there, keep at it :)

That is not easy to do, express movement and life and it is all there.
Great work!

Great action, well done.

I like the ‘quick movement’ feel here. I looks to me like they have all just set off for a long race, lovely water colour, :)

Love the movement in this Estelle : ) so well done! Oh..and congratulations on the sales! Wen xo

This is amazing work. I hope you have it hanging up

Very free watercolour. I like it a lot!!! :-)

Meant to tell you ‘Stell, Hannah B saw the card of this work the other day and said; ‘Wow! that’s great, is that a famous painting?’ I told her; ‘not yet, but It may well be one day’. See, your work gets noticed outside of RB.

Oh! this is a lovely painting, you’ve captured the atmosphere and movement ;} hugzz

Excellent!

Have to comment again! I bought a matted print of this wonderful watercolour ages ago, and just last week I gave it to my boss, who had no knowledge or interest in horses, until we began working together on a major research project into safety and jumping racing, now he’s an ‘expert’, and quite interested in learning more about horses, racing, etc. I thought it just suited him perfectly! It’s in his office, so I see it every day still, and can still love it – and now more people love it.

It’s a beautiful work Estelle, and my pleasure in it grows each day :)

Hi Estelle, just caugght up with your comment …
The print is propped up on top of a filing cabinet, amid all manner of piles of paper, books, folders, etc. My boss is the Director of a research centre at Flinders University (he’s an epidemiologist). Shall I take a photo of it, and post it on the Buyers Booth???

I’ll do it tomorrow – he’s away, so I can fiddle about in his office without annoying him.
Cheers!

Love the colours here and the line and washes. It conveys very well, the motion of the race. The middle horse in particular, is superbly drawn and painted.
Keep progressing, Estelle.
And thanks again, for buying the calendar!

The horse in the middle is great. It has good definition and looks like you’re starting to understand the anatomy of a horse. However, the right horse looks as though someone else painted it. I would keep painting this. Watercolor is really difficult. I’m no expert but, I know practice is everything. Overall, the color is really fresh and I’m glad you didn’t try and overwork it. Good job!

nice
