New Vaquero Horse Painting

I recently started painting in a new style of gouache pronounced (gwash) which is an opaque watercolor.  The pigments are a bit coarser so it has more covering power.

What I love about it is that you can create a painting that has more 'body' than a regular watercolor but yet you can still create transparent washes also.  Depending on the paper, it can really make the image 'pop' or look three dimensional.

This painting is one of a ranch horse, buckskin.  I liked the look in his eye, where he was alert yet relaxed at the same time.  The size is 11 x 14 and was painted on 300lb arches cold press.
