Hello everyone!  I wanted to share my latest painting of some Yellow Tang fish.  I am attempting to branch out into painting other sea creatures even though I still feel the most comfortable with my love for sea turtles.

This is an 11″ x 15″ watercolor on 300 lb. Fabriano watercolor paper.  I wanted to do something using complimentary colors of which yellow and purple are my very favorites.  I was a little disappointed with how the ocean foliage turned out, and I wish the fish looked more luminescent.  Obviously, I still have a lot to learn!

I have not really practiced drawing ocean foliage that much, but I plan to.  Even so, I am planning to try another one and probably in a different composition and size.  This was just not planned out very well.  Also, I was attempting some wet-in-wet technique with the purple foliage, but I know I overdid it.

Anyway, I still wanted to share it.  And just so you know, I am constructively criticizing my own work, not “fishing” for compliments…….;-)

Have a wonderful day, and give someone you love a big hug!  🙂

P. S. I have finished with the secret painting I have done, but I want to wait until I send it to my friend before I post it and that may not be until next week.  I am feeling a little bit under the weather today.   I plan to exercise some and try to sweat out this cold I feel I may have caught!
