Something fishy

Today our teacher brought in some fish (Sardines) for us to paint. I think I am slowly begining to get the hang of water colours. I don't think this is an exact replica of the fish but that was not her intention in giving us to paint a fish. She wanted us to use colours to blend. She also wants us to paint to a large scale hence the fish is big and everything else we will paint will be large. Now don't ask me what that orange blob is and what it is doing there, I won't even go into it LOL! I didn't find anyone moving away from me in the train so I guess I didn't smell of fish either LOL!

Shashi, you were BORN to paint! That fish is marvelous! The colors ar spot on! Did you say you haven't painted before? WOW! And I think that orange 'blob' is a big fish egg - caviar, my dear! LOL! Well, you SAID everything else will be large scaled!
