How to Paint a Goldfish

Wednesday, May 29th, 2013

Except not really, since this is mostly about how the background came to be. But I thought you’d enjoy seeing some shots of yesterday’s art coming to life, anyway!

a few good swipes of warm yellow-gold paint

become a nice overall wash

some dots of rich bright pink turn red as they blossom into the wet yellow wash

blooming like poppies as paint drips from above

more yellow, this time a cool lemon, joins the pooling colors

add in a spritz of water for good measure

and then wait until it all dries

flip it over and paint a fish on it

a few details tweaked and it's done
