HEY EVERYONE!

Excited to show my new painting! Whalesharks! Or in my local term "Butanding" (boo.tan.ding) 😂

Slightly Derpish, but HERE IT IS!

I might add a clearer shot of this too.

Here's some fun facts about them that you might like to know:
👉 They're not whales
👉 They're not sharks
👉 They're gentle, giant Fish!
👉 Tropical water dwellers

THEY'RE SENSITIVE TO SUNBLOCK👈
Chemicals in high SPF sunblock actually harm them so much that divers who want to go see them aren't allowed to put some. Unless its totally organic.

ART PART!!!!

LET'S GET PAINTING!

Sketch with borders? Okay I put a border to secure that my main subjects don't get cut when I have this framed with matting. I erased it anyway.

Starting the Painting Process:

So here I lightly dab and spread base tones of blue and yellow.

Details!
This is still light to middle tone to emphasize the patterns.

And there it is!

I gradually add some darker shades on the whalesharks and then adding details on the fish and adding more fish.

The patterns were mostly "leave out" method.

The darker colors are mix of blue, dark blue, purple, bluegreen.

I add more color to the background around the picture.

Then, I add some fish in the distance

Then I ink the outlines:

Then, done!

Let's appreciate our gentle giants! Let's also remember our trash doesn't belong to the sea, it doesn't belong to their menu as it doesn't belong to ours. Let's manage our wastes and prevent them from going to the ocean or landfills to stop polluting our waterways and killing our marine life 🌼🙏

I hope you enjoyed my little painting
Thank you so so much for stopping by!
