Analysis

The chosen colors enhance the watercolor effect and maintain a harmonious balance. Blues, pinks, and purples provide a dreamy and ethereal look to the horses, conveying a sense of movement and grace. These colors are soothing and evoke a sense of calmness.

The background colors are warm and inviting; light yellow adds brightness, soft pink brings warmth, and light brown gives a natural touch. Together, they create contrast and depth, keeping the composition engaging and lively without overpowering the delicate hues of the horses.

Tips for Coloring

1. Blending Softly: To achieve the watercolor effect, apply colors in light, overlapping layers. Blend blue, pink, and purple smoothly on the horses to create a seamless transition between hues.

2. Shading and Depth: For depth, use a slightly darker shade of the main colors on the shadow areas of the horses. This will add a three-dimensional look while maintaining the soft aesthetic.

3. Textural Variety: Use a mix of strokes and dabbing techniques to mimic watercolor textures. This adds interest and variety to the flat areas.

4. Color Harmony: Ensure the colors are balanced by using the background shades sparingly to maintain focus on the horses.

5. Highlighting: Use white or a very light yellow to add highlights on the horses to enhance the illusion of light reflecting off their coats.
