Little gold fish - a painting a day

painted this little gold fish rather quickly and without a lot of reference. I was trying out some different paper. This paper is called “Aquarius” it has glass particles in it. I seemed a little too flat for me, it didn’t have much tooth and the paint didn’t really sink into the paper but sat up on top of the surface. As I layered on subsequent layers of color it didn’t really want to take on more paint. I’m sure its good for something but since I use a lot of water and thick paint, its probably not going to be “my paper”.
