How to Paint A Koi Fish in Acrylic Part II



Hi everybody , I hope you love your work that we did the last time on your Koi fish painting. Today we will continue on the part II of the koi Fish painting. 


Okay, so Last time we finished the background with the cobalt and ultramarine blue.Then we painted the lily pads  and fish in white.



This should be your image or close to it.








The next step is to paint the lily pads. We will take some cadmium medium yellow and mix it with a dark green or hunter green.

 Then we will put some white with it. This will create a yellowish green. Now paint the whole lily pad with this color.

 Some areas it will be lighter than other parts and this will be fine.This will add depth .

 Then you will outline the lily pad with a darker green  and later outline with white inside the green  line.












Next mix a light version of your light green with a little more yellow and white. Then make an X on your lily pad with this lighter value of  yellow green. You can see this in the this next picture.



One top of that, take some burnt sienna and mix with some white to make it lighter. Then paint seven thin lines on the lily pad coming from the middle.






Next we will paint a line line of dark green beside the burnt sienna line.



Last, paint some thin lines of white next to the dark green and burnt sienna lines.



 Paint all lily pads like the preceding and this will be your image on your canvas with all lily pads painted .




Last , you can paint your moon yellow. Add some white to make a light yellow. Don't forget to leave some of your moon white.



Well , This is enough for the day and I hope you have had a good art painting workout. Let this dry, and we will do part III tomorrow.

See yah, and remember love what you do, and you will do what you love.
