Watercolor Essentials
On the Move
Try these easy-to-implement, minimalistic
approaches to introduce dynamic motion
and energy into your paintings.By Daniel Marshall
The arrest of
momentum is
evident in Round Up
(plein air watercolor
sketch on paper,
16x11). The horse’s
forward movement
is being halted to
make a quick cut.
The soft edges
of the rider’s scarf—
and the direction
of the horse’s mane—
also accentuate
that action.
