Third wall painting - A Unicorn

I set myself a hard challenge today...a rearing unicorn.

Thought I would try something trickier yesterday. I know I am no artist, but I am very pleased with the end result and my daughter absolutely loves it.

I started by roughly sketching an outline and then started to fill it with colour a bit at a time.

I worked my way down the body and painted the legs

Then I painted in the face and long flowing mane.

Next the tail...

and finally the unicorn's horn.

Voila!! A purple unicorn that fits in well in my daughters princess and fairy tale theme bedroom.
