12 x 9 colored pencil and watercolor
I actually liked the painting in the last post. When I started adding to it today, I thought I blew it. I lifted out some of the watercolor paint and blotted it with a paper towel and let it dry. It left interesting textures. So then I went in with Prismacolor colored pencils and used the textures as a guide as I did some negative painting. The result is kind of abstract, yet it is still recognizable. So, I leave it up to the viewer to see what they see - is it reflection of the sky and trees, or is it under the water? Have fun! Decide for yourself!

Thank you lark! Is that your bird blog? The photos with your new camera are fantastic! I love birds. I have had various finches throughout the years, and I love feeding the wild birds as well.
The white lily pads are above water as is the gold fish - kinda SciFi. Very pretty`
I like what I see, I´m in love with those fishes!!!
Hello, Carolyn!!! :-D So cool!
I see as the water folds seaweed, hides them in itself! This is such a difficult aspect and you did coped with it very well! As for the seaweed in the foreground - they carry us further - into the distance events! There, in the water, further-more there are beautiful, strong trees and the sun shines brightly!
Oh! Thank you for such beautiful travels!!! :))))
Glad you enjoy this painting! Yes, the gold fish looks like he wants to come out of the water! Darwinian.
