Moleskin Sketch ~ Feeding Frenzy

A sketch in my moleskin picturing an afternoon feeding frenzy in the Koi pond at the Houston zoo. A little tricky to capture and stay dry.


A Photoshop color study... no water damage this time!

I'm a sucker for koi paintings. This is wonderful with the soft colors! Usually they're paintedin such dark waters. Nice Roberta!!

Wow! Cool and very details piece.
Both style with black & white and colour version also look individually unique.
I especially love the bottom coloured version because I can feel the astonishment of these cool fishes swimming with much great joyful movement:)
Thank you!
