The mandarin fish. Watercolor painting

This is a watercolor drawing of a fish that I like: the mandarin fish.

I dream one day to be able to have my own little aquarium tank in which I could have different creatures, including fishes, maybe a mini octopus and some turtles.

I like this fish because of its vibrant colors.

I find fishes to be absolutely beautiful because of their elegance. Watching a small tiny fish swimming is one of the most relaxing things to witness .

As usual I always start with a pencil sketch and I add details as I go.

I began with coloring the fish and creating an unique background after.

This drawing took a lot of hours. Nevertheless I enjoyed painting this fish with every minute that passed.
