Fish and Waterlilies

by Eliza Leahy

The leaves don't have much detail - I quickly get them out of the way!

The fish take more time, getting the patterns right, and the bits of shading - they are underwater after all.

I want the outside of the picture to be very dark, coming in light to the middle, so I use my darkest brown.

Then I bring in some blue and work out some of the shading in the middle of the water.
