Tropical fish

I had so much fun working on these journal pages! In case you wonder, the background cracks is a result of inserting crackle medium between two layers of acrylic paint: champagne gold and white. I let that "sandwich" dry and then used watercolors to paint the fish on top of it.

    Почему-то я вспомнила Arizona Dream, глядя на эту летающую) рыбу. Здорово.
