Trying to make fish in watercolor
Greetings dear Steemians!!!
I like to work with watercolors because I feel it is much faster than painting with colored pencils, but at the same time it is somewhat complex since you must know how to work with them or know some techniques to make the work easier.
I'm just trying different things to see what works for me, plus I like to see the paintings of great Steemit artists and learn a little of each of them to practice and see what works for me, each artist is different and I think that You can learn from each one of them and that is what I am doing when working my watercolors.
This time I did something simple but I really wanted to do it for a long time because I thought it would look very good, maybe someone with more experience with the paintings would do a much better job than I did... But still I made the attempt to Make a small lake with some fish swimming.

I like the brightness of some paintings that I see from different artists that are in Steemit but I can not get that effect that I love so much, I do not know if it is a product that they put on the painting at the end to make them look like this or it is simply the way they work their paintings that in the end manage to obtain such beautiful results.
If an artist with experience in different types of paintings goes to see this publication I hope my fish do not hurt your eyes by seeing so bad work hehehehe... 😂 just joke. But seriously, if I would love someone to tell me how to make my paintings shine.

Thanks dear friends. Here I say goodbye for a few hours, I will try to continue watching and learning to see if I can perform beautiful works like those of my fellow Steemians and so be at their level at some point.

I really love the quality of your painting, my favorite part is water, since you achieved a very realistic effect by leaving those little shades of light and the shading of the leaves. The colors of the fish are perfect. Excellent post.
Oh, how nice @reialfr, thanks for your nice comment... I thought that nobody was going to like it but I'm glad that you liked it and next to your nice comment I'm very excited. 🤗
La primera fotografia quedo excelente ya que da la sensación de ver a los peces desde arriba de verdad muy buena tu ilustración @yanes94
Gracias @franciscana23 🤗
Wonderful painting! I like this combination of colors ^_^
Gracias @sweettais
Bird view is different and I always love that view. Prety nice red you use on fish. It is beautiful. I like it. What is the name of that fish?
Thank you very much @tanjir1990, it always makes me happy to know that there are those who like what I did.
They are Koi fish.
