Butterflyfish ACEOs

Just in case you missed these little fishes, I have a couple more for today. Both are ACEO size (3.5x2.5 inches).

Clownfish ACEOs

I had quite some time to do any little fishes, and I missed them. This time I choose this funny colorful species, the Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris), or else called anemonefish! Their main color varies between yellow and orange-red, and they have these characteristic white patches on their body. I did a bunch of them, all on Saunders Waterford paper, with my usual watercolor paints. And, as the title says, they are all ACEO size (3.5x2.5 inches).

Tropical fish - did you miss these blue fishes?

I did miss them, and decided to have another go but this time a bit larger, as my previous watercolors of tropical blue fishes were all of them ACEO size (and most of them already sold). The first two of the new paintings are ready, size 7x5 inches. Both done with my usual watercolor palette (mix of Daniel Smith, W&N and American Journey) on Saunders Waterford 140 lb CP paper.

More to come this week!

Tropical Milkweed (Asclepias curassavica) ACEO

During the last weeks I did not manage to participate in the Weekend Drawing Events (WDE) at WetCanvas forum, and I was missing it, especially when looking at the beautiful photos shared by the hosts all over the world. Previous week host, tyree, invited us to paint along with her in Florida! I liked very much the photo with the tropical milkweed flower and buds, and I decided to do a small painting as I didn't had much time for a larger painting. It happen that just a day after tyree posted the photo, I saw one of these plants growing up under a tree on my street! One more reason to paint it. So, the painting is very small, of only 3.5x2.5 inches (ACEO size), and it is done with my usual watercolors (combination of W&N, Daniel Smith and American Journey) on Waterford 140 lb CP paper.

Do you think I did to many of the tropical fishes? A couple more...

Again, ACEO size (3.5x2.5 inches), two more of these funny little guys! I wish you a funny day too!

More tropical fish ACEOs

These little guys are so funny to paint! Because of a request (kind of commission) to paint one more in horizontal format, I took the chance to do a few more of them. I had 3 ACEO paintings done at the beginning of the year, and since then I was thinking I would like to do some more, but always something else appeared. These ACEOs (3.5x2.5 inches) are done with Winsor & Newton and Daniel Smith watercolor paints on Waterford 140 lb R paper. I hope you enjoy these two little ones!
