In most cases, an artist will choose a particular style or medium to use. For a woman named Bev Doolittle, that style is using watercolors but the way she does it is unlike anything that you’ve ever seen before. In fact, when you look at the paintings she produces, you could swear that they were an oil painting. Her work also is sometimes characterized as ‘camouflage art’ and it focuses on Native American life.
Doolittle doesn’t necessarily consider herself to be a camouflage artist but she thinks of herself as being more of a ‘concept painter’ who uses camouflage to capture the American West in a way that is very unique. Her paintings are camouflaged and you might be surprised by how well things get hidden. This is clearly illustrated in this hidden horses picture that is not only beautiful, but it also tends to stump about 93% of those who try to see behind the scenes.
Are you able to tell how many horses are in this painting? It’s hard because the shapes and colors of the horses are almost identical to the background. Take your best shot at it, it isn’t as easy as it looks:
