Description ... there were some very lonely days in middle of Atlantic Ocean. On some troubled days, I was gazing down into deep sapphire abyss under water veil...

... and then, my mind wandered away to admire that majestic ocean life- that different life that no man can access.  

And it made me to feel happy.

If you ask me what is the colour of Atlantic: pristine deep sapphire blue. 

Painting 70x50 Arches watercolour (I think only hot press smooth Arches paper is good, not textured one/cold press) + watercolour and acrylics technique.

what are the differences you can point between hot- and cold-pressed paper? your experience is valuable for me.

Cold press is textured/grainy paper while hot press is smooth. And also I find that hot press paper captures more vibrant colours than cold one - and also better for details.

Hope that helps

This is breathtaking! So incredibly stunning and the colors are just vibrating! 
Are the animals done with acrylics or mixed with watercolor? I haven’t tried mixing the media myself before but the result looks absolutely amazing!

Acrylic base, I mix acrylic with liquid inks to get perfect smooth consistency Acrylics are too "rough" to gain that smooth texture so I use basic white and mix with ink pigments.

Woah, those colours! No words to find for this. It's so beautiful. I really love the different species you included and all the little details on them and especially the whale.

It looks somehow calming at yet theres more.

NovaEden In reply to Seelenlicht [2019-10-11 18:00:24 +0000 UTC]

I wanted to add more! But I did not want to clutter attention on the whale As you say, there are some critters but still, this piece is calming. Thanks!

You're very welcome! I think that was the right desicion for this one. The athmosphere is just right. 

Maybe do a more active image with all those that couldn't be in this one^^.
