We have been working on these painting for a couple weeks now. These are the ones that the girls have completed and are dried. As we have been concentrating a lot on color and color schemes, I thought it would be fun to create paintings of bright tropical fish.
This also was our first assignment in class that the girls used watercolors. They are a challenging medium. I was suprised as I worked with the girls at how much fun I had working in watercolor as I most often opt for acrillic or oils when in my own work. I really must pull these out more often. We also experimented with the chemical reaction of adding salt to wet watercolor paints to create the really cool textures and effects you see in the girls pictures below.
I think they are bold and beautiful paintings! Nice work, ladies.
Kylee's Laker-colored fishies. Her painting is beautiful, and although you cannot see it , I have to tell you, her contour drawing underneath turned out really impressive.
Kylas fish. Beautiful complimentary colors, and check out that gorgeous water. I am super impressed. I love this painting.
Arika. Check out those bold colors - I always admire the way Arika is not afraid to dig right in and lay down that paint strong.
This one is mine. Not exactly a masterpiece, but like I said, it was good for me to pull out the watercolors again! I am motivated now to brush up my skills with this medium.
