I was wondering what kind of watercolours you were using. Very nice.

This is actually a digital piece.

I've been playing around with layer stacks, that usually start out as one or two photographs & adding a variety of different effects to each version. i then take each image and go through a process of both fading and deleting ranges of color, after which i take the opacity down to about 25-40%.

after that, I usually have anywhere between 15 and 30 transparencies & rebuild the image by stacking the layers. The outcomes vary quite a bit, and sometimes this process yields some really surprising effects.

You misunderstood me. I got that it was digital, but it produced a nice watercolour-type effect. Sorry for the confusion.

I love how the roughness of the canvas shows through in this piece, and the manes on these horses are beautifully done.
