A Fishy Post

I did mention my little fishy obsession didn't I?

Recently I've been doing a lot of art - all my spare time seems to be engulfed by the subject - not that I mind, its such a perfect way to spend time! (Even if the stress cranks up by a million close to deadlines...) Anyway, I thought I'd share a little of what I'm spending my days doing.




There is something about fish I just love to paint or draw, those colours are so beautiful! I'm trying to paint on top of recipes with fish in them, if you see where I'm going?

Other than fish, I'm also trying to improve on my (clothed) life drawing. I keep asking people if I can draw them, it's becoming obsessive haha, let me know if you have any tips!

  1. Umm... WOW!
    I had to draw fish (a lot) for GCSE & A Level art as my teacher was a little bit obsessed, but mine looked nothing at all like this!!
    INCREDIBLE!!
    I love the use of paper beneath the water colour... How I miss art!
    (Also- Power of Love is an absolute tune!)

  4. Wow hun this is amazing! How talented are you? :)

    I did A Level Art at college and I used to be obsessed with drawing fish straight from the fish mongers! My mum wasn't so impressed with the smell...

    Keep it up!

  16. You are ridiculously good! I love watercolours - the first picture is adorable (is this an acceptable word for a fish painting?) Have you ever sold any pictures? x
