Koi luminoso en acuarela: cálido vs. frío, forma y flujo

Ohhh this is gorgeous. I can practically feel them swishing through cool water, darting in and out from under the fallen leaves.

Barbara your addition of those Fall leaves complimenting the color scheme is lovely. The depth you've added with the shadows under your fish is really good. Koi like murky water and this gives your painting a realistic touch.

Thank you so much Kris! Yes it's true that Koi like murky water :))

Thank you so much Barbara for doing this class! :-D  This is absolutely stunning. I am really glad you enjoyed it, thank you for the kind words! I love how you made this completely your own, the warm autumn leaves and earthy tones give the scene such a serene and atmospheric feeling. The fish have beautiful movement and colour, and the whole piece feels very poetic and personal!

Thank you Will !Autumn is my favorite season so I tend to add autumn leaves wherever I can :)

I like how you didn't just copy the lesson but made it uniquely yours

Just beautiful!  I love your colour choices and it's great that you were able to use your own reference pic :) Great project :)

This is amazing, Barbara - great job!!

Barbara this is fantastic! The leaves are lovely and frame the koi perfectly. I love how you used your own photo to personalize this project. Beautifully done!!

Beautiful painting, Barbara!

Beautifully done Barbara. Love the placing of the leaves and the hint of viridian.

So pretty! I like how you added the leaves and your colors used!

Thank you for this great class, Will
I used a picture of koi fish I saw in Japan on my first trip there
