A few recent Horse Art

Hello !
So I've started back on watercolor, so here are a few horses.
I'm really not there yet, so if you have any tips on how to improve, I'm all ears !

The portraits were done first, and I tried a few things in between, but I'm still not super satisfied of my environements

Varnish and Protection

Hello !
I've started to do a lot more watercolors these days (I'll post them here later today !), and I've been wanting to protect them.
So I'm going to frame them behind glass, but isn't there any additional varnish or protection we can add to prevent sun fading or further damage ?
I used to use a spray gouache varnish but I have no clue if it was very effective on watercolor x)

Thank you in advance !

An animated movie about a photograph from Hiroshima, trying to live with the trauma of the events.

Hello !
I've seen this movie yeaaars ago, when I borrowed the dvd from a library.
I cannot for the life of me find it, or remember the name, but it still haunt me as I could not finish it as the time.
I remember it beeing very disturbing.

From what I recall it was a movie happening right after one of the nuclear bombing at the end of WW2, where a photograph takes a picture that makes him famous, but also comes back to haunt him as he learns more about it.
The guy had a monkey too

Does it ring any bells ?
Thank you in advance ;-;

"The magic Irish Cobs will never come back again " is this true or a rumor ?

Hello !

So I learned on my server that apparently the magic Irish cobs would never come back and would be removed from any future sale.
Which I find weird when considering well... they could put them somewhere on the map like other, previous horses, and there was a whole point about avoiding fomo in the European commission thingy

I really wanted one of them but planned on keeping my starcoins for summer daze, but this would change everything

Let's talk quests: which ones are your fav and most hated ?

Hello !
I saw the "fav or mosted hated npc" post and I thought I'd love to have the answers but for quests.
I love questing, and have almost completed all of the quest, I'm just not done with a few reputation quest including marchenghast.

Some are very nice and well written, and others are very... bland?

So here is my questions, out of the quests that left a mark on you, that you remember, which one is your favourite, and which one you really wish you never have to do again.
I'm talking mainly story quests, not collectibles or dailies !

For my part, I really didn't like the pirate ones, I was just waiting for it to end, same for the quest where we have to get Courtney to be a chef, the back and forth all the time just stop TwT

As for my fav, I really liked nightdust, it really transported me and I was very invested.
I also really like Marchenghast so far but I'm not fully done, so I won't count it

Would you have any recommendation of good people to learn?

Hello !
The art (a realism try with a very fluffy horse) is a filler, I just hate to post only text x) !

I have been a watercolor artist for the longest time but never really learned watercolor, just did what felt right.
However, after years working mainly in digital, I want to come back to my roots, and push my skills.

There is tons of videos and tutorials out there, so I'd ilke to ask you ffor recommendation of great watercolor artists to learn that helped you in your journey !

Thank you in advance !

Hi I'm new :D

Hello !
I just landed in this subreddit, and I wanted to say hi !
I'm officially a pet portraitist but really I'm more of an equine artist

I'm slowly trying to get back into watercolor, these are from last year, so before I paint anything new, feel free to send some constructive criticism, I know I don't play enough with the white for the highlights on my paintings !

Anyway, nice to meet you

Hello !
I just joined this sub as I am quite lost in my art, I feel like I lost skills, even though I know it's not technically possible, we just improve another way, I feel like my art always lacks so much fundamentals, and I really struggle to learn them well.
I went to art school, have worked on them on my own, but it never goes that well

So I need some advices:

What would be methods / excerices you would recommend for me to improve my composition, anatomy and coloring ?
I've done quite a few but I honestly never manage to improve that much...

There is just something sloppy about it all

I also struggle going well into details, rely heavily in brushes and jsut struggle to really spend time on one peace, if you have some suggestion on how to improve it I'll take too ;-;

Thank you in advance !
