This is my first time using this blog, so i don't really know exactly what i am supposed to do. Anyway though, so when we all picked words out of the hat to figure out what our project had to be based on, my word was (obviously) fish. I was not really sure where to go with that, but i started drawing fish and eventually came up with the blue-green fish and the purple-blue fish. Unfortunately, these were in my sketch book. However,when i tried to redo them on actual water color paper, the results were so bad that I decided just to use the ones in my sketch book. The third red fish followed after those two were already painted and ready to be glued down somewhere. I found the back ground at my house- i am not entirely sure where it came from, but the texture reminded me of water. So... that's it?

According to Hannah, not quite. In a flash of originality, i believe i will name this project "fish". This was a mixed media product- paper, watercolor, white crayon and colored pencil. The dimensions are 11 inches tall by 8.5.

CINA!!!

I loved how I helped you through this piece. It really turned out super stellar. Your level of skill with watercolor is exceptional. The detail of the red fish is insane. And I just looooove the fish in "three parts." It's just an adorable piece that would make a great jigsaw puzzle. :)

Why thank you :)
You were a very large part of this, even if I didn't mention it like you did. I apologize. But thanks for the great idea about the big fish and for the wonderful adhesive idea and, of course, the white crayon. And I did surreptitiously put my name in there too, just in case you were wondering. So thank you :)
