Hello dear friends, today’s video is the third and final video in this 3 part series where I’ll finally be finishing this goldfish portrait. In the first two videos, I went over the block-in and grisaille process, and now it’s finally time to paint in color! I'll also be sharing my technique in painting the shiny metallic effect of the gold fishscales. 😁

I'm an oil painter/illustrator/cat mom living in Seattle. I am in love with oil painting, but I also dabble in drawing, watercolor, colored pencil, and always looking to learn new mediums! I post my painting and illustration time lapses, art tutorials for beginners (including oil painting techniques, drawing techniques, and art career advice), and various artist studio vlogs for your enjoyment. ❤️
For even more comprehensive tutorials such as (how to paint skin tones, how to paint backgrounds, how to paint hair) free prints, live streams, and daily artworks in progress, please check out my Patreon page! Thank you!
