Clown Fish

I thought you might like this one.  It should be fun to paint.

This is just straight painting on dry paper.  Nothing fancy.  The colors for the fish are cadmium yellow mixed with cadmium red.   For the anemone (I guess that's what the vegetation is) I used yellow ochre.  I mixed yellow into a few and brown into a few for variety.   I will darken anything that needs it after the background is done.  I think I will go with a blue background, even though it is almost black in the photo.  Blue is the compliment of orange.

Here it is with the background filled in.  The only thing left is to paint the black edges on the fins and tails, maybe a bit of shadow on the white stripes, and put in the eyes with a fine black pen.  Then, see if there is anything to fix, darken, lighten, etc.

Final painting.  Black (alizarin crimson + thalo green) are in, fan lines in the tail and fins, and I darkened a few of the anemone.
