Doodlewash Prompt: Salmon
Did you know that Salmon are anadromous? Probably, since it simply means that salmon live in both salt and fresh water. Now you know the word for that.
This was rather quickly painted from a photo that seemed almost abstract, but I loved the colors.

Doodlewash Prompt: Bubblegum
Did you know that bubblegum corals (yes – there really is such a thing) have polyps with eight tentacles, which usually emerge at night to feed?
I wasn’t feeling too arty when I painted this, so I opted to go cartoony.

There was a reference photo from Auciferz that I had thought about using for either the Doodlewash sunflower or orchid prompt, but it didn’t seem quite right. Still I wanted to paint it.
The sunflower that I did paint for the prompt was an experiment using gouache on gouache. I learned what I wanted, but wasn’t totally satisfied with the finished piece.
So when I painted this I tried to think what was missing from the other flower and decided it was purples and blues. So I purpled and blued it!
What do you think?

Bright lights dancing to the music of the rain. To splashing feet, syncopated beat, raindrops twirling, puddles swirling, serenity in energy.
