Description
This is the first of a set of new unicorn artworks that I am working on. The colours are quite simple but I hope convey a feeling of magic and mystery to this scene 
Unicorns are loverly creatures, very magical. I enjoyed painting this one. Before I started I got several books with horse reference photos to study. It is not like painting a dragon where if the wings are a bit big or the neck is a bit long it is no problem. The unicorn is based on the real creature of the horse, and so the anatomy has to be right or it looks wrong.
I hope you like it
EDIT: you can now see the full set...
