Today, my hubby took a parrotfish in his lunchbag.
Doodlewash prompt ‘parrot’. I wasn’t in the mood to paint parrots, but I was into the idea of trying to get that neon glow that parrotfish have.
I went for a stylization and I like the effect I got. I want to do a larger version, though, where I can give the colors more room to play.

Almost has a stained glass effect with the black background. Very effective technique.
Many thanks, Sharon! I do love working on the black paper. You get such dramatic effects!
