The Fun of Unpredictable Watercolor

One of the fun things about watercolor is that it never behaves exactly the way you expect.
Especially on smoother watercolor paper, the paint tends to sit on the surface and gets pushed around by the water, so brush marks show up easily. On the other hand, lifting out highlights is also much easier.
On a side note, halfway through painting this, I suddenly really wanted salmon sushi. 😂

Watercolor, and salmon sushi, these are a few of my favorite things! Beautiful work, always. Incredible color and texture in the fish!
@Patrick Bosworth Thank you for the kind words! Looks like we’re into the same things 😄
I was actually a little worried that enlarging the head for the composition might make it look more like a whale than a fish.
