Noodler's Apache Sunset ink, Private Reserve Naples Blue ink, watercolor
in a Stillman & Birn Alpha hardbound sketchbook.
Discus fish are among the most beautiful of the freshwater species. They had some wonderful specimens at Animal Kingdom. They must be very shy because no matter which one I was sketching, that one would become aware of the fact I was staring, and would try to find a place in the tank to hide. They come from the Brazilian Amazon River and often are caught live there and transported to pet stores. I was feeling like I needed florescent paints to capture their colors! I pulled out the most brillian cyans I had on hand --- Private Reserve Naples Blue ink and Winsor Blue watercolor.
Wonderful colors in the fish and the birds. I had to laugh at the macaw following you around. That was a good idea for a place to sketch!
