Okay, this has helped me a great deal. I was wondering how you did the scales.
Not bad but looks a little light to me. However I do like the trees my trees alway look sick but yours looks good.
Keep at it like me.
it is a nice effort.plz try to add details and be more dark because water colors tend to be lighter then what u paint.plz try to use camera icon.thanks
It is my utmost dream to be able to watercolour undersea life, the botany, fish, everything. Your painting floats as if the koi are really swimming. Thank you for the inspiration. Wish I could watch you work.
Serena,
i like it! for a first its brilliant and all tell you why. Water Color is the hardest of all Medea to work in because its water and water moves its own way. so you obviously have a talent for controlling water. second as stated previously th…
I like the overall tone of the painting. For your first painting you did very well.

- yes that was what i was trying to exsplain that when you paint its just one litil bit at a time the only time one sould be thinking of the pating as a hole is in the begining stages were you are laying out the basic consept you have to think about the way your eye will traval threw the painting you want the vewers eye to move from focalpoint to secondary focapoint then threw a lagical cores back to the main fucalpoint that way there eye never leavs the painting you want to keep there attetion if there eye leavs the painting they will move on to the nexst visouly distinct object like the painting siting nexst to it in a art galary

- scale are the hardest part you have to paint them so they show the contore so as go more and more vitical from the horazontal you have to make them more like vary narow "C" shapes alsow as the body of the fish swims he naturaly bends his tail back and for so where the sacals are fuly exstended you have to paint them biger becos they slid back and for over each other so were there at max estetion they will look biger or were the are bent inword they will look narow as there sild over each other tighter dose that make sens you have to think about how the fish is moving and how his scales move back and forther

- serena its not conplex just paint exsactly what you see just the way you see it forget every thing els dont think this is a fish i must paint a fish brake it down to cruder forms like this is a dark spot and this spot nexst to it is a light spot or what ever the case may be if you do that and you pactis getting the shaps right and in the corect location then the painting will paint its self the bigest hang-up for artist is detaching them selvs from naming the things they are painting it maters not its even a hinderence to your progrss as an artist mite i sugest you go look at the inpresionist paters they painted only the ligth and there for were artist in its tureset sence

- some times i think about a pating for days befor i start it going over in my mind just what i want it to convay not so much how it will look but the feeling i want it to have then i make a seareas of metal pictures about what that mite begin to look like its never exsactly what i picture but it give you a place to start then you can go vary light at first changing the palin to fit the painting as you go never rush if you get stuck stop painting and walk away even for days if you need to never work to long i say 2 hr max that way you alwas stay fresh hammering away on a painting all frustrated will result in a desasters painting

- serena im doing a painting of a koi now i alwas take in progress pictures all up load them so you can see how i build the pating from lightest to darkest im afrad i didnt do the pictures from the vary begining but you will get the idea note how i ues difrent colors to build up the final colore thats part of how Watercolors afect each othere layering them to gether makes a totaly difrint look this way you get depth to your patings so when you start a new pating its vary inportent to have a plan of attack as it were continplat the highest value and the lowest figure out just were thees lightest and darkest are going to be

Robert williams said… - Might seem a bit daft Serena, but when I looked at this first effort of yours it reminded me of the ancient cave paintings found in France, simple but so effective.When Picasso saw them he said"We know nothing"
The moral being that art like beauty is in the eye of the beholder
