This web page shows the stages in the painting of two watercolours Ray demonstrated at the day workshop for the Kiama Art Society on Saturday 19 September.  Page 3 shows four examples of paintings from participants from the class.

First painting for the day used the reference photo below:

'Photo provides a pleasant composition as is. Tools could be useful items for the final design'

'Drawing and mask before first washes.  Creating a warm foreground with light to the left'.

'Second greeny grey wash for grassy areas behind.'

'Horse painted in one pass dropping in darks and varying colours.  Warms due to the reflected light on the horse's underbelly also dropped in while wet.'

'Farrier's clothing painted simply using a tube turquoise for the shirt'.

'Skin tones quite dark.  Shadow using cerulean blue and red with warms of raw sienna and burnt sienna dropped in while wet.'

'Some of the tools, shoe bag etc painted.  No more adjustments until looked at later.'

'Added a few dark dabs to horse's face, tools, apron - matted and signed - 'Farrier fitting the Shoe''*
