For now….Fish?

So… for this next painting I’m taking a break from my Arcadia series and continuing with my “underwater” theme I guess. I want to continue to work on portraits and to improve my skills with painting people plus it seems to fit with my mood and I was inspired by these translucent fish. I knew I wanted to start with a black background and I figured using these glowing fish would give me a real nice contrast.

And here is the work in progress. My goal is to finish this piece by next week and begin a new sketch… hopefully
