Koi Miniatures #1
September 8, 2009
Here are couple of koi miniatures I finished a while ago. When I started sketching the kois, I had no idea how I could paint the water. I just hoped that I would take it as I tackled with it. The ripples were achieved by scrubbing. Since I don’t use masking fluid, I had to do quite a lot of scrubbing.
I just finished my second set of koi miniatures which I will post soon. Please do watch this space…

Thanks Veds. Are you painting nowadays?

Wow. You had to spend quite some time scrubbing back. I like the effect. Masking fluid would leave hard lines around the ripples and they would have to be lightly removed. Nice minis Raji!

It was hard work Leslie. I had sore muscles later that day! It gave me an idea how it was to work small.

At first look, i thought this might have been done on Yupo paper. Looks great..

I have never ever worked on Yupo. These are plain cold pressed watercolor papers.
