Fish, I like them and it's my drawing, so there!

I'm creating a drawing a day, for two years, to practice, inspire others and grow as an artist. I am fully fed up doing it at the moment, but I know from experience that if I hang in there I will get interested again soon.

Sharks

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it, and sharing an art tip too.

Today's drawing is sharks, l love them!

Today's art tip: Use the biggest brush you dare, use the biggest paper you dare, and get yourself a bunch of it so you don't feel it's too valuable and you have to get it right. Things look good big, it will uncramp you and help you like what you do!

Today's is fish. #drawingadayclub

Water and fish have long been associated with wisdom and spiritual enlightenment, I also tend to associate boats and the sea with freedom, perhaps that is why I return to these subjects again and again. "Don't stir up prejudice for gain, sit by the carp pool and look for tolerance to praise in others." Or some such message! 😂

Yesterday's daffodils

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it.
Yesterday I drew these and didn't share due to technical issues with my tablet and my laptop! Argh! Now I have a new tablet and my laptop is in the computer shop, so should be OK soon.

I have also included a better picture of my fish drawing as I had tech issues when I shared that. #drawingadayclub

Fish

I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it.

Today's are carp.

I love them they are beautiful but not very nice to eat, especially jellied cold and whole, but if you guest with a Polish family at Christmas, and they go to the trouble of keeping live fish in the bath for a week, just to insure you get the local traditional food totally fresh, you find a way to eat it and smile!

I also don't recommend naming them when you decant them into a bucket to wash, it really does make eating them harder, for the record they all had good Scottish names like Jimmy and Jinty!

Carp fish

Today's are carp fish. It's my second drawing today, the first went wrong, I usually just share them anyway but this was very wrong!

Fish, Koi

Bird with fish.

This bird is not very good but both my kids are asleep and I want to watch a movie and have some rare me time so it's what your getting - goodnight!

Rays

I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it.

Today's is a group of rays. I like to tell anyone who will listen that I've seen these in the wild off the coast of Australia. They are so sure of themselves - wolves of the sea!

Water lilies and gold fish.

I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it.

Today's is water lilies and goldfish.

No need to get too hung up on "the colours things are" look closely and they are often not the colours we traditionally associate with them. Look out for a brown tree trunk and you soon realise that they are usually grey, green black or silver in various combinations.

Here are water lilies that are not green, water that is not blue and goldfish that are not orange (I admit that one is artistic licence as they sure are orange!) I hope you like it.

Fishes!

Today's are fish in a tank.
