Fish Painting Tutorial (What I Learned)

 Hey, hey, hey.  This is one tutorial on YouTube that I had fun learning from as I followed along.  In the tutorial I did line drawing which wasn't too steady but I now have turned on the stabilizer on Krita so that my line art looks better.  Still, all-in-all I was using a mouse to do all the artwork in this one.  Line art is the most important part to get right, then everything else just falls into place.  It's the foundation to build on.

This was a very fun tutorial that I followed because I like under the water and the colors are nice and contrast well.  That's another thing in painting, you need to learn contrasting colors, complimentary colors etc,  and how colors show up better against each other, bringing out more color in the finished picture.

There is something called a color wheel.  It helps to be able to see the colors on the wheel.  Colors opposite each other are complimentary colors.  Primary colors are red, yellow and blue and secondary colors are orange, green and purple.  Its good to know how colors look together.  Go into a paint store and pick up a paint color chart and you will see what colors look the best together.  This will help you get used to the colors that work the best together.  I love color and don't like things to look drab.  Everyone has their own favorite colors and I am no exception.
