Mystic Reef's Pond Buddies - JP3454
Let me warn you! This is purely a fun, impressionistic, try something different, kind of piece.
I started with a simple sketch, began with watercolor technique. Had a ball! Tried introducing some metallic colors which destroyed my watercolor touches, but went back and did some glazing and now ready to try a similar idea again.
