"Symphony of Colors: Blue and Orange Beta Fish." This project allowed me to explore the captivating world of underwater beauty, specifically focusing on the vibrant hues of a beta fish. The painting showcases a striking interplay of complementary colors and incorporates subtle iridescent mediums to accentuate the intricate scales of the fish.
Creating a watercolor painting that effectively captures the intricate details of a beta fish required a combination of techniques. I employed controlled wet-on-wet blending to seamlessly blend the blue and orange tones, allowing them to interact and merge naturally. For the fish's intricate scales, I employed fine brushwork to meticulously render each individual scale, maintaining a delicate balance between realism and artistic interpretation.
