Basically painted the same as Koi. The blue background is painted on an 18"x24" sheet of metal with HOK paint. Then detailed by my son. I then went in with
acrylics and painted the fish and underwater life.
This is after my son takes the painting and adds airbrushing and more detail and about 10 coats of clearcoat with wet sanding in-between coats.
This painting was displayed at the New Mexico Expo Fine Arts
Building in a juried showing for the 2005 NM State Fair.
