Random blobs of water color

If you’ve been following my blog you know that fish posts have been good to me in blogland – Butterfly Fish, Glum Fish – I decided to honor them with a picture (and it amuses me).   Easy, Fun and anyone can do it.  

• Took a child’s watercolor set  (I didn’t take it from a child – it’s my own child’s watercolor set I bought for $1)
• Wet the paper with water in a random pattern.  (I used a brush but a make-up sponge or q-tip will work)
• Put some red, orange and yellow watercolor on top of the wet paper and just let it flow.
• Put some more red, orange and yellow watercolor on top again and let it flow.
• After it dried I kept turning the paper around and around looking for my fish.

My FISH!

And there they were!

Took a fine line sharpie and outlined the little suckers (no complaints so I continued)

Gave them eyes so they could see what’s happening.

• Took out my markers, colored pencils and started putting color on top of color
• Then I doodled.  They didn’t seem to mind sooooo

The big guy doesn't look too happy with my doodle.

• I doodled some more.

Lucky for them I’m doodled out today so they have time to acclimate to their current finery.  Can’t decide what to call each of them?  I think they are related to the Butterfly Fish, cousins several times removed.

MORE doodling

She's obviously easily amused . . .
