Designing a new dala horse


I had a few traditional ideas in mind but like to get creative with finishes, brush strokes, design and color. I basecoated it in a red orange and sponged two different reds and oranges over that to create a more aged and interesting effect.


Lines and dots are easy and my comma strokes are improving the more practice I get.


Another thing that effects the design is the width of the horse you're working on.


I'm going to do some more painting on this because at this point it seems that there's too much green and not enough shades of blue. What do you think? I'll be sure to post pictures of any changes that I make.
