The Treasure at the Top – MORE PROGRESS
PaintingsOne of the most gratifying things about being an artist is seeing a challenging picture finally start to take shape.
And, boy, is this a challenging picture.
The Treasure at the Top – Part 5
PaintingsFinally, I start adding the first details to the lake that these fish are in. This picture is coming together quite nicely, I’d say.

The Treasure at the Top – Part 2
PaintingsIn this 2nd video, I start to paint the other fish in this sketch. Yellow fish, white fish, red fish, red & white fish. If it’s a koi fish, you can practically guarantee it’ll come in any color you mention!
The Treasure at the Top – Part 1
PaintingsIn this video I show off the first part of the process of making my current koi fish painting.
Okay, technically, the sketch is the 1st part. But, in terms of the actual painting, this is the 1st step.
The Treasure at the Top – In Progress 2
PaintingsHere, I started to paint in the white and yellow koi fish, making them full of sheen and shine. A fish tends to have a shiny, streamlined look to it, so that’s really important to get right in a painting.

Treasure at the Top – In Progress
PaintingsArtist’s block is something that hits me sometimes. It happens to all artists once in a while. Every now and then, I’ll be thinking, “lemme sit on this painting for a little while. I will come back to it. Just need a break”.
So it is with this painting. I’ve progressed way past this point shown here in this TikTok video, but I needed a break from it for a bit. But, I could at least show you my initial progress on this picture.
Enjoy!
