I created this wild horse using a masking tape technique recently. I scribbled copic markers inside the tape as my first layer before adding watercolor.
I hadn’t planned on creating a horse but after I removed the masking tape, he appeared! Lol! 😉 I added pan pastels and watercolor splashes to soften the image.
The masking tape was EXTRA sticky so I tried my next animal creature using washi tape. Below is a before and after photo:
I learned this technique from Carla Sonheim. I think it would be a super fun activity to do with children. (The washi tape was much less sticky and worked better than the masking tape for me.)
When I took this photo at the lake Saturday evening, I saw a horse head in the storm clouds afterwards:
Do you see it? I must have had horses on my mind!
Hope your Monday starts out in a slow trot and not a fast gallop!
Cheers! 🙂
What a great idea Jill, I love your creations. Well, I’m of and “running” today but I’ll get my pace to trot!

Yes, I see it, and I also enjoy looking for “things” in the clouds. Wouldn’t that be a fun series of paintings? I love how your cloud morphed into these awesome creations. 😘

Hi Carol, that would be a cool painting series! Clouds are so interesting…I’m not sure I could paint them so they looked real however. I bet you can! 🎨💙👍🌈💕🌥

I saw one yesterday that looked like a teddy bear as my dad pointed out to me. Maybe I will try that one, but I encourage you to try the ones you see! Have a terrific weekend 😘
