Cheltenham had a busy week with it's horse racing last week, and on Friday we had our own race day.
But with Watercolour horses.
The first time we have tackled horses at Treetops.
This was a class that involved quite a bit of drawing at the start, ensuring we all had the correct amount of legs for each horse!
We created a lovely wash of blues for the sky and greens for the grass, that dried beautifully over lunch.
We enjoyed choosing our colours for the silks of the jockeys.
We used small brushes to flick the manes and tails to help create speed and movement within the painting.
We finished with some dark brown splattered across the galloping area, to create yet more movement from the hooves during the race.
