WOYWW 785 Koi Carp

Hi all, my desk this week is all about koi carp!
I’m enjoying this project and tomorrow (Wednesday) we’ll finish painting the big fish and will work on the little fish we created last week by wiping out paint between cut out stencils. My tutor last week confessed to ‘stencil envy’ as I’d bought fish scale stencils to help with painting the fish. 


We’re also using net, cut from a bag of tangerines for small scales. 
Last Thursday I finished my mixed media still life. It’s ok but I found using oil pastels to be harder to be precise with, though they made good lime and lemon peel textures. 

I’ve enlisted my Lyonnaise friend’s advice and she thinks St Tropez bags are back in fashion and that my French goddaughter (her daughter) would like it. 😀. I’ve added magnetic clasps this week, but that’s all. 
Bella was very good at the vets today for her annual jab. She’s recovering from the trauma with a nice snooze and sends sleepy purrs to you all. 

It may well be tomorrow evening before I can comment much as I’m out at my fishy watercolour class tomorrow. 
And finally…
I’ve shown this before but it popped up on fb again and I couldn’t resist. 
Not a cartoon but he does look cross!

Take care and happy WOYWW 
Hugs

    Your funnies always lift my spirits. So hysterical, that cat and dog.... The painting is wonderful, the scales very realistic, and Bella looks quite content after her "trauma" LOL!
    Happy Desk Hopping (and for me, knitting)!

    That eagle funny is brilliant. He really has got the hump in the way he is stalking the shore.
    Your painting of the fish is lovely, clever you to use stencils for the scales. Equally I am impressed with your fruit - you have definitely embraced this course.

    Your painting is looking fab - I love the colours and how you've achieved the feeling of depth in the water - just beautiful. The fruit is very realistic - you did a good job with the pastels.
    Hope you have a great week,
