Here is the finished painting of "Dolphins at Play"! I am so glad I finished it and I'm really happy with how it turned out. These two dolphins are laughing and playing under the sea, what fun!
The Color Gold is a completed ACEO. I thoroughly enjoyed painting this piece. The painting was inspired by the book "Hail Stones and Halibut Bones",which was my favorite book to read as a child. And the part in the book about gold is one I read over and over again. I can't get enough of it.
I have just started a new water color and I think I will call it "Dolphins at Play". It is a WIP.
Here are three cheerful dolphins snickering under the sea from a little fish joke. I was painting this water color/color pencil "Dolphin Trio" along with the "Dolphins at Play" today at school and I like how they are turning out. I found that starting out with color pencil and then painting over the art card is a great technique for getting the appearance I want.
