This is the unicorn for my baby bedroom which we painted with doggymommy by Skype. I was somewhat stressed but went in the adventure with open heart and mind.
This is animal #3 for me.
I hope I am back with oil paints now after a long break.
@doggymommy - thank you so very much for wonderful time together and for bringing this awesome idea to go out of comfort zone together. It is so awesome to travel unknown paths with a friend! Thank you very much for your time!
Thanks for teaching me new English words too!
PS. This is inspired by Michelle the painter.
Jeffth I had to use google translate 😀. Would you give a synonym for poignant? I am struggling to get the meaning.
Love this
Great painting from the fairytails for decorating the walls in children's rooms. Pleased to see you back in the game Sunnylady. I look forward to the next painting. Cheers
Super work Sunnylady! MTP has some really fun tutorials for sure, did y’all follow along with her or strike out on your own?
So beautiful and magical! Love your colors!
Thank you all for your comments and for looking at the painting!
@cronenberg - I watched the video partially, got an idea. Then found a horse photo. When I sketched it, it was freehand based on the photo of a horse. I would not be able to explain how I did that, I started with the triangle pretty much. Then went on my own to work from darks spots through medium tone to light. Color scheme was something that I totally branched out on my own as I wanted to avoid pink and create something related to color of the flower the name of my daughter means.
Such beautiful, soothing colors. Great work!
Super painted, Sunny👍🏼🇩🇪
Love Michelles tutorials....great work Sunny
@forestvue, Dirk, tel - thanks for looking and thanks for you kind comments!
I think this is so magical! Absolutely in love with that color purple! Well done!!👍
Fantastic bringing to life of a mythical and mystical creature with different shades and hues. Spectacular addition to a child's room. My granddaughter LOVES unicorns----dare I even try?! Great job.
OMG! This is really stunning Sunnylady! You just nailed to perfection the unicorn. The colors are so soothing. I am sure it looks amazing in the baby room.
@Lc - this is dioxazine purple mixed with white, black, and yellow ochre.
@docluv - yes, surely try. But please research horses photos before and find one that you like to use as a base for your unicorn. It will help to establish dark and lights.
@Ninoum - thank you so much. I like the colors too. My only concern here that area. Of background is very similar to the area of unicorn and compositionally it is a bit boring. But I can live with it.
Hey there Sunny, just saw your comment. I had to re-look it up too, and the definition says sadness or regret. When I wrote it, I meant more like pensive/longing/yearning. There is a slight sense of sadness here, but that was not the main meaning I intended.
Thanks a lot Jefffh. Yeah this is why I got confused too many meanings :) thanks for clarifying.
My husband said it was sad and crying. So I also wanted to check what exactly you meant. Thanks a lot!
Fantastic! Love the form and detail here Sunnylady Really well done :)
@happyisland - You will never believe, I only painted an eye and signature with a small brush. I am glad though that rough brush strokes create that illusion of details.
The painting got splashed by cleaning supplies. I washed it out but it erased paint in some areas to the white canvas...oh those harsh chemicals... i need to find time to fix it. Luckily the damage is minimal.

Really beautiful, and it gives off a poignant emotional quality.
