KOI DREAM

I experimented with acrylic and watercolor mixed media for my Koi fish. I experimented with various techniques such as scumbling and dry painting. I took further reference in the composition from a couple of different koi photographs and painting pieces - that I was able to reference and imitate some techniques they utilized. I took the creative license to work on the shadows, light, contrasts, and vibrancy of colors as they complemented one another.
