You are welcome! You say it took you 5; I figure I would have had 10 invested to come near the same quality.

Thanks again! I got bored of doing all those scales and whatnot, so I kinda rushed near the end.

You're welcome. And, it is understandable as you progress on a work after a long while, to begin to find it tedious.

Very carefully! ;D No, but it really helps that you can go back to erase the paint with water if you want to lighten up an area again.

Omg get better paper! At least get crappy watercolor paper. I can't even imagine painting watercolors on printer paper ._. It's terrible.

WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD PAINT ON PRINTER PAPER.
I'm not so far away from civilization...anyway.There are shops nearby....that sells drawing paper,paint and brushes AND THAT'S IT,just the basic stuff.
I hate the paper though. But I really don't have a choice.
LOL Alaska.I live close to the forest...in a tiny village...The nearest mall is 68 km away...I think...

This is eye-catching due to the shimmering colors and the realism of the fish. You are a very talented painter.
