First time using watercolor!

I apologize for the crappy lighting, but after using oil paints and pastels, I decided to try out watercolors. Decided to paint a Bolivian Ram, as I have a beautiful pair that I’m trying to spawn. I don’t have any nerms to show this to IRL, so I thought I’d post this here! I’m thinking of painting either a Geophagus or Pangio species next. I’m only a high school student, so I’ll definitely need more practice, but I don’t think this is too bad of a start!

Thank you all for your kind words! I really appreciate them! @nabokovfan87 Here’s a soft pastel discus I made a bit ago, again with crappy lighting. This was also my first time using this medium, so it’s definitely not as good, but I was recently gifted a set of oil pastels, so I’ll likely do more with those.IMG_0360.jpeg.af44268651b185f06458fda75fa7a2c6.jpeg

I’m nearly done with another watercolor painting, this time of a certain colorful armored catfish. I’ll post that here once I’m finished!

You should try water soluble pastels.  You can lay down precise color, then blend with as much or little water as you like.  No, I’m not posting anything of mine.  I used to do a lot of artwork but haven’t for literally decades and I’m ridiculously out of practice plus I haven’t really produced anything in years.  But water soluble pastels are very cool.
