Barrel Racer. (Watercolor horse) would love feedback or crits!

Woo! I love the movement in the piece! The background in grey is perfect! I love the piece, and since you asked, the only thing I would be tempted to do is add a bit more contrast. That's my personal opinion though. I would concentrate adding a bit more contrast in the area you want people's attention to go to.
It is a lovely piece! Watercolours are my fav.

@miss-beans good call! Not exactly sure where I want the views eye to go. But the entire piece all has equal amount of intensity. Like the faces and the feet hold your same attention.

bad lighting for the photo...

Delivery went well. She seemed to like it.

@whitney-simms This watercolor looks beautiful, I like how you made the rider's face stand out more in the final version.

@dlarmantrout thank you so much! I had a hard time figuring out the white hat and how to make it pop. And I tend to get really muddy on skin tones and overdo it.

@whitney-simms your watercolor skills are amazing. You really captured the character’s motion in your piece. It looks very dynamic. Great job.

This is a nice piece! I realize it's found it's new home and hopefully the owner really does enjoy it and you think she did. For future reference (and I have NO idea how to do this in watercolor) as I see the post it seems that it's lacking either some area of saturation around the main focal point or lacking warm colors in the same area. I could be wrong but even the brown tones in the horse feel cool (maybe that was intentional). I can't decide which it is but hopefully that feedback can help on some future piece you work on. I'm a complete rookie in watercolor and I'll be the first to admit I can't match the level of skill you put into this one. Color me impressed!
