So I was just looking at these horses last weekend and thought, why not try coloring one myself? Got my niece’s art supplies out – cheap watercolor set and some regular printing paper. Figured how hard could it be right?
Starting the Mess
First I tried sketching a horse shape with pencil. Total disaster! The head looked like a potato and legs were all crooked. Ripped three papers before giving up and just printing a horse outline I found online.
Watercolor Nightmare
Grabbed the blue paint for the body and boy was that watery junk awful! Blobs everywhere like some kindergarten art project. Tried fixing it with brown paint for the mane but they mixed into this gross muddy puddle.
- Spilled water cup on the table
- Paper started warping like crazy
- Colors bleeding everywhere beyond the lines
Switching to Crayons
Threw that junk aside and dug up some old crayons from the drawer. Started pressing too hard – snap! Broke my black crayon trying to do the eyes. Now I got waxy chunks everywhere and smears on the tablecloth.
Finally gave up and colored messy-like. Horse ended up with purple spots ’cause the red blended weird with blue. Tail looked like rainbow spaghetti. At this point I was laughing at how terrible it looked but hey, it was done.
Epic Fail but Fun
Whole thing took two hours and the result belongs in the trash. Lesson learned: my art skills haven’t improved since third grade! Next time I’m buying those premade coloring books with markers. At least then I won’t destroy the kitchen table.
