"Koi" Watercolor on 8x8 Clayboard

"Koi" 8x8 Watercolor on clayboard

Koi Fish are such beautiful creatures, and they can grow up to 2 feet long!

In Japan the meaning behind a Koi Fish is that they bring good fortune and luck or perseverance in adversity and strength of purpose.

I used a new watercolor canvas called

Ampersand Aquabords - 8 x 8, Aquabord, Deep Cradled, 2

This is the first time I have painted on Aquabord - and I found it extremely fun. Although....I'm such a horrible direction's reader. You are suppose to wet the board first to remove any air bubbles. I didn't...but I was lucky it turned out okay. I did wet the area I was painting before I layered in the paint, so that's probably why.
