Koi Pond WIP

Here is my first attempt at traditional paintings with acrylics. Of course I had to continue with my 'Go Big or Go Home' approach to things and start with a 7 piece painting. :P

Fish blocked in over the water...

Added orange details to the fish...

Added iridescent silver details and lily pads...

 

Next will be the flowers,water ripples and then to finish off with painting the sides black. Wish me luck!

Happy Life Day and Merry Christmas!
