The fish allow me to indulge my love of the sea and obsession with colour. Watercolour is an unpredictable medium, or as I like to think, a little bit of playful magic.

I love watching the colours push and pull against each other to give an outcome I can never entirely predict, and I love that the colours are so intense but also so transparent at the same time.

Occasionally I use pearlescent liquid acrylic accents, which gives the fish a shimmer often observed when diving with them underwater on a sunny day.
