Entry For 'Day Eleven M.O.L.A.A.' - Sketchbook Page by @spaingaroo - Hungry Minnows
'Hungry Minnows' is an underwater scene based on @ spaingaroo's sketchbook for day 11.
Below is the sketchbook page I drew inspiration from.
Certain aspects of the page reminded me of an underwater scene so I started planning that.
I sketched some water plants.
I sketched my scene.
Next I painted a background using acrylic paint on acrylic paper.
I added real sand to the ocean floor.
I cut out and painted my minnows. I also made some bushes. I didn't like them so they were discarded.
I painted bubbles from the sketchbook top of left page, eels from the middle of the left page and vertical plants from the bottom of left page. I hope you can see the connection.
I glued on some strands of water plants made of embroidery silk. I also glued my minnows in place.
I finished by gluing silver and gold beads and sequins on the minnows and air bubbles.
Thank you for viewing my entry.

excellent, I love it. Of course I can see the connection.
I love the real sand too.
last thing you'll have to take it outside into the shade somewhere, but with a lot of indirect light, and try and take a nice foto from straight on. If you can do that and send it to me, I will make a better brighter image so we can see all the work in all its glory.
Do you know what I mean?
try and get the camera at right angles to the painting and with good light, and then with a bit of cropping we can see your work better.
but all in all a great entry.
I hope you had as much fun making it as I did watching you.
thanks for the process post too
Aw sorry, I can't do that as I'm housebound :( Please don't speak of this though as I'm ashamed of it.
Never mind, was fun entering anyway.
Thank you for organising it.
